How can you tell if your dog may have HD

Post by David Rawnsl » Thu, 20 Mar 1997 04:00:00



Hi I have a husky and while the percentage for Hip Displaysia is
fairly low in Siberian Huskies I would like to know how to tell or if
there are any signs that hip displaysia could be evident??

The only way to tell whether or not your dog has HD is to get him
x-rayed by a *qualified* radiologist, and send the x-rays to OFA. I say
qualified, because many vets are not trained to do the correct
positioning, or to correctly read the results. Good luck.
