abstract
A 2 year old male Rottweiler dog was presented with the history of abnormal gait, intermittent lameness in its hind legs, reluctant to climb stairs, difficulty in getting up after a period of rest and exercise intolerance. The case was suspected for hip dysplasia on the basis of history and clinical signs. Radiographic examination revealed bilateral hip dysplasia. The case was clinically managed successfully by use of chondro-protective agents, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), weight reduction and monitored exercise.
