SV Dysplasia - Page 2

Thanks all of you for replay
First time the xray was taken on August, but I was not sure about position (I posted this on the forum), so on November I repeated  the X ray. This time the position was perfect ( I made some consultation about this).The breeder is a member of polish Kennel Club and SV IN Germany. He do a  x ray of his dogs in Germany, but the litter was register in polish Kennel Club. Just to let you know in UK a dog can get 53 for each hip so together 106. Higher number=worse hip.We have 42/15=57. Average for breed is 18.

I have one more question.
My dog do not limping on back legs, but very often he limps on his front right leg. The elbows are clear, result 0/0 .The  worse hip is on right side.Is it possible that he is limping on right front leg because the right hip is horrible and this is  his way to safe the right hip?

Your dog could have pano. How old is the dog and what are you feeding it?

He is 20 months now. When he was a puppy he was eating dry food, firstly pro plan purina large breed puppy, later taste of the wild pacific. Since he is 11 months he is eating raw food. He receives  joint supplements since I have him (he was 4 months when I imported him).

Sounds like he's on the old side for pano. Diet seems OK.

I want back and looked at the xrays.
Positioning was horrible on every one of them.
Hip was tilted and also legs were not positioned correctly on any of them.
Before panicking about HD, go to vet that specialized in taking xrays for OFA.

 

My 28 month old had horrible Pano, X-ray confirmed. 

I would not, under any circumstances, feed any TOTW food to a puppy.

It was the first Xray we did on August with my vet, yes the position was not good. I redone x ray on November with experience radiographer. I send the xray we did on November, the position was very good.

Welcome to the forum Kamilion, your English is better than many from my country where it is spoken :) As someone who has had a leg injury for many years and walks with limp, the front most likely is compensating and taking more of the movement than is natural. That is why the lameness in the front eve though it tests as fine. It is the same with my undamaged side and over time it is beginning to cause damage to my good leg which as of yesterday I had to get xrayed due to lamness in it last couple weeks to check for major damage in it. It is good your dogs front xrayed as fine so that it is able to help take pressure of the bad. Make sure keep dog on leaner side of weight, if can swim the dog for much of its exercise as well would be awesome. I had a female that had severe dysplasia both left hip and left elbow and that is a rough situation. She came fom sv "titled" parents. Thankfully in all the gsds I have had, this has only happened for me once. I believe in the system but you cannot get positive results one hundred percent of the time. As Dog1 mentioned, it happens and all we can do is keep on doing our best and keep supporting quality breeders doing right. I commend that you wish the bad statistics be added with the good for research is only as good as the facts being researched and if that scale is tipped the results cannot be trusted. I whole hearted do still believe that dogs with lesser ratings in elbows and especially hips should not be bred and many forget or let elbows slide in many breeds and then it is difficult for them to find sound elbows anymore for breedings. I wish you all the best and the advice given you this thread has been excellent.

the beat still goes on lmao.... thank you for the smile :) 


I wanted to add for the poster, I am happy this dog has you in it's life. I know of so many that dump the dog as soon as it has an imperfection instead of keeping and loving it for what it does have.
