Hip dysplasia, a common orthopedic condition in dogs, impacts breeds of all sizes, not just large ones. Veterinarian Marina Gonzalo highlights significant progress in treating this ailment. Previously, dogs diagnosed with hip dysplasia often faced a severely limited range of motion and reduced activity. However, Gonzalo explains that early diagnosis, coupled with surgical intervention and comprehensive rehabilitation programs, now dramatically improves outcomes. These advancements allow many dogs to regain functionality and return to an active lifestyle. The focus has shifted from managing decline to actively restoring comfort and mobility for affected canines, offering a brighter prognosis than in the past.
