Canine Hip Dysplasia (aka dysplagia) is a painful and crippling disease that results in a weakened hip joint in dogs that causes painful inflammation and decreased flexibility.
Labrador Retrievers, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, and Golden Retrievers are susceptible to hip dysplasia but the disease is by no means limited to these breeds.
The word dysplasia means improper growth. Canine Hip Dysplasia literally means "improper growth of the canine hip". This improper growth makes the hip loose and wobbly, leading to increased movement of the hip. Over time, this will result in arthritis and lameness of the animal if left untreated.
