What causes Dog Hip Dysplasia?
July 16th, 2008 by Paul JohnsonOur German Shepherd Mix dog suffered from Hip Dysplasia for most of his life. We had always heard that German Shepherds are in particular suspectible to it. Genetics appear not to be the only cause though, weight gains as they grow as a puppy may be another factor.
Signs your dog may be developing Hip Dysplasia
From my personal experience I’m going to list some things I noticed that were caused by my dog’s hip dysplasia.
1) After very vigorous excercise your dog starts to limp.
2) Your dog has trouble getting up after laying down.
3) Your dog has trouble climbing things.
4) Your dog runs with his back legs suddenly in a different way, (i.e, not alternating his back legs properly or favoring one side of his back legs during running).
Our dog died of cancer and we didn’t have to put him to sleep because of hip dysplasia, but as he got older it did get worse. If you have a german shepherd or your dog is showing signs of hip dysplasia, I would put him on ArthroIonx.
I’ve heard things from pet owners and I examined the product in detail in my ArthroIonx Review. I had always thought Hip Dysplasia was genetically caused and there wasn’t much you could do to reverse it, once it developed. If I had known there were natural ways to actually help fix this condition through supplementation, I would have bought ArthroIonx for my dog.
