  • Mainly large and giant dog breeds, especially with stocky conformations
  • Seen in cattle - Herefords
  • Subluxation of hip joint due to maldevelopment
  • Not present at bith
  • Inherited + environmental factor involvement (nutrition, exercise)
  • Pelvic muscles are behind the bone development in rapidly growing dogs -> lack of restraint of the joint -> excess movement before acetabulum is fully mature
  • Usually develops within first 6 months of life
  • Varying degrees of severity
  • Pathogenesis:
  • Predisposes to DJD
  • Round ligament of femoral head may rupture -> luxation
