Pancho was having difficulty getting up after lying down, he was stiff after exercise, and sometimes he was lame on one of his back legs. When I examined him, the first thing that was obvious was that his hip joints were painful. When I moved each hind leg backwards and forwards at the hip, he yelped, and turned around anxiously to look at me. I could also see that there was also some muscle atrophy of his hind limbs, suggesting that he had not been using his hind legs properly for some time.

X-ray pictures were taken of his hip joints, and these showed that he had a condition called “hip dysplasia.” This happens when the hip joints do not form properly in a young dog. The hip socket is too shallow, and the top of the thigh bone does not slot into the hip as snugly and smoothly as it should do.

Hip dysplasia causes gradual, progressive changes to the hip joints, and leads to the development of arthritis at a relatively early stage in the dog’s life.  The x-rays showed that Pancho only had mild signs of arthritic changes in his hips, but it was very likely that arthritis would get progressively worse as he grew older.
