AGAIN ABOUT DYSPLASIA
Probably no one has a definitive answer, but I stick with the opinion of 80% of European and English vets.
Dysplasia happens to all joints. Let's start with this, and what is dysplasia in principle? The explanation below deals with dysplasia of any joint.
Dysplasia (buckwheat. dys - deviation from the norm, plasis - formation, education; dysplasia - violation of development). Dysplasia is an anatomical defect of incorrect or disturbed joint development, presenting the risk of violation of motor support functions. There may also be secondary factors such as osteoarthritis, arthritis, etc. In dysplasia. The succession of different joint dysplasia and its occurrence have different factors.
90% TBS dysplasia is not genetic, but it is a growing problem.
Speaking of cultivation, we mean:
- Wrong (non-player) and usually too much physical activity
- Incorrect nutrition (for example, unbalanced natural foods)
- Incorrect floor covering (slippery floor)
- Overweight in the puppy
- incorrect supplementation of dogs with supplements, vitamins, excess calcium in the diet
In addition, TBS dysplasia is also caused by changes in the anatomical structure of the lumbar vertebrae (such as golden spondylosis), cows lay hind legs (not a genetic cornea), which the owners did not do anything in time. (for example, they did not change the quality and quantity of loads + they did not change the supplementation with these or other additives. ))
TBS dysplasia is NOT "visible" or "touch", it is unless a dog with TBS dysplasia usually does not limp and can move perfectly.
But, as I wrote above, dysplasia always shows secondary signs like osteoarthritis and arthritis, and they are the ones that can cause limping.
Dysplasia is not treated, but secondary signs of osteoarthritis and arthritis can be kept under control. You can go very slow and even stop its progression with the right food supplements, proper care, nutrition and massage, and swimming. If we follow these 4 points, a dog with even the highest degree of dysplasia can live a perfectly normal life.
Dysplasia can be diagnosed by x-ray or CT (in certain cases). To get the correct image, the dog has to be properly set up for an x-ray.
Also, I would like to add: very often when a dog has a hind leg, we are not dealing with dysplasia, we are dealing with injuries, micro-injuries, stretching or tearing of the ligament in the knee.
But it is better to solve this problem as soon as possible. And get rid of her faster, because otherwise, I will suffer the consequences all my life.
Unfortunately, very often the non-x-ray dysplasia verdict is given with a chromosome in the hind leg, and we are in fact dealing with knee joint problems.
TBS dysplasia grades occur in Europe:
A B C D E,
A and in the absence of dysplasia. V is given to those dogs whose joints are not 1000% perfect
C is the easiest option for dysplasia. With her, the joint itself is fine, but there is small arthrosis or arthritis.
D - the joints are not in order and there is severe arthritis and arthrosis. Dogs with D in Europe are not allowed to breed, because the percentage of genetics is low in TBS dysplasia, but there is.
E - the strongest dysplasia, that is, the vertigo drop is almost undeveloped and the strongest arthrosis and arthritis.
________________________________________________________________________________
England does not use letters because ideals, I will repeat, do not exist. The minimum number is naturally 0-0, (given a number for each set separately), but for example, the Golden Retrievers have only had one dog to be 0-0. The average for Goldens in England is currently 19 on both Hips. Dogs under 19 years of age are used for breeding without restrictions. But naturally, the smaller the sum of the numbers, the better. Anything less than 10 is considered just ideal.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Once again, I want to reiterate that hip dysplasia is for the most part not a genetic problem.
All puppies are born with PERFECT joints. (of course if there was no birth injury, and if the puppy was not dragged by the mother's hind legs, etc. etc. ))
This is just a fact.
Only all these joints are quite soft on the puppy. Like plasticine. You can sculpt anything.
First sculpt the breeder:
this includes proper padding, proper nutrition,
the proper state of the puppy, i.e. for example, the puppy should not be too fat even up to 10 days, it should be checked literally every hour, if the puppy has eaten a lot
