Causes of dog hip dysplasia

Canine Hip Dysplasis (CHD) is a serious genetic disease in dogs, especially in large dogs. In fact, golden retrievers, Labradors, German Blackbacks, Norwegian Terriers and Chow Chows have the highest incidence rates. The etiology and pathogenesis of CHD are still unclear. Some people believe that CHD is a biomechanical disease, caused by the inconsistency between the rapid growth of the main pelvic muscle groups and the bones. This unbalanced force forces the hip joint to tear apart, which then stimulates a series of changes. The final manifestations are hip dysplasia and degenerative joint disease. The most important factor may be genetic factors.
