    HIP SCORING IN DOGS
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2005) SUBIN KOLADY
    Canine hip dysplasia is an inherited, developmental orthopaedic disorder of the hip joint in large and giant breed of dogs. Hippocrates had recognized the condition in human beings, as early as 400 BC. Hip dysplasia as a disease condition in dogs Was first reported by Schnelle (1937) and he described it as â bilateral, congenital subluxation of the coxofemoral jointsâ . More recently, the disease has been diagnosed in a variety of species like cattle, horse, elk, rabbit and dingoes: still the condition is more prevalent in purebred dogs. No single disease condition has been the source of more controversy, debate and scientific publications than canine hip dysplasia (Read, 2000). There are only a few points of consensus regarding the disease apart from the fact that it has a multifactorial etiology that involves a genetic component and is associated with hip joint laxity (Lust, 1997).
