What is Hip Dysplasia?
Hip Dysplasia in dogs is characterized as an inherited
condition, which may be aggravated by improper feeding practices. Hip Dysplasia in dogs is
often described as a loose joint syndrome. When the hip joints are loose the ball of the
femur rides on the edge of the socket rather than gliding smoothly in the socket. This
results in pain and eventually to the formation of abnormal calcium deposits, bone spurs
and/or arthritis.
X-ray evidence
in dogs with hip dysplasia who were supplemented with AMAIZE suggest that these dogs had smaller intra-articular spaces - in other words,
tighter joints. When joints are tighter and more normally aligned they may operate with
less pain, which may account for the improvement in mobility and reduction in pain in dogs
supplemented with AMAIZE.
