Dog Hip ProblemsA dog's hip joint comes apart (is dislocated) more often than do any other joints. This ball-and-socket joint, like most others, is surrounded by a capsule. Ligaments and muscles, too, hold it in place. In spite of the fact that it is held very strongly in place, falls and blows such as those inflicted by automobiles somehow force the ball on the femur out of the socket. This dislocation may be such that the ball is above, below, or in front of the rim of the socket. Even the rim itself may be damaged so that it is extremely difficult to get the joint to stay together. Often the capsule, ligaments, and muscles which hold Il se joint together are so mutilated that the femur can be put back with ease, only to slip out again just as easily. Some dislocations of this type in large dogs difficult to reduce and others that were snapped back by merely bending the leg and giving it just the right kind of twist. You may say, if you watch your veterinarian set one, "It's all in knowing how." But no expert can get tall hip joints together easily. Dog Hip Problems Information
