Abstract

Canine Hip Dysplasia (CHD) is a chronic orthopaedic disease affecting all breeds and age groups of dogs. It is critical to diagnose and control the disease early in order to improve the patient's quality of life and delay the development of osteoarthritis. Since CHD is hereditary, it is imperative to identify CHD patients and avoid breeding them. In this retrospective study, cases of CHD at Universiti Veterinary Hospital (UVH)-Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) in 2019 and 2021 were analysed in relation to some body parameters including body weight, age, breed, and gender. In this study, the therapeutic management of CHD was also evaluated. A total of 54 cases of CHD were identified based on the history, physical examination and radiography results. The severity of 35 cases was evaluated radiologically using the Orthopaedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) scale. The correlation of variables was determined by Spearman’s correlation, and a positive correlation was identified between body weight and severity of CHD in large breed dogs [r(18) = 0.518, p = 0.028], and between age and CHD severity in medium breed dogs [r(12) = 0.541, p = 0.035]. The Kurskal-Wallis test shows significant differences between age of different breed of dogs visited UVH due to CHD (H (2) = 9.342, p = 0.009). For medical management, the combination of NSAIDS, joint supplements, and pain management was used, in addition to weight control, dietary changes and physiotherapy. For surgical treatment, only excisional arthroplasty was performed at UVH, and the surgical outcomes were generally good with improved pain and limb performance.
