Ρίξτε μια ματιά εδώ γιατί προβληματίστηκα…
Μήπως τελικά οι συγκλίνοντες ταρσοί (cow-hocks) είναι ένα από τα συμπτώματα των δυσπλασικών σκυλιών?
Is My Dog Dysplastic?
Typical symptoms for hip dysplasia include pain, heat, and sometimes swelling in the joint. The dog may be grouchy when touched, wanting to be left alone.
The dog may also appear cow-hocked (a condition where the back elbow joints turn in), stand toe-out, and perhaps have some muscle atrophy. (When a dog is in pain, she doesn't want to move the part that hurts, so if a hip is sore, she may not want to use her rear legs. After a few weeks, these muscles become flabby.)

SIGNS OF CHD IN YOUNG DOGS:
What you will see first is a pup that runs with both back legs nearly together, almost like a rabbit would run. After exercise the pup will be reluctant to rise, will sit back as if unsteady and will have difficulty climbing stairs or inclines. The pup might look slightly underdeveloped in the rear quarters.
When it stands the rear legs may not be parallel, but rather too near each other at the hocks (ankles) called "cow hocked".

ΥΓ. Συνmoderators δεν μεταφέρετε το θέμα στις «ασθένειες-θεραπείες»? :wink:
