Hereditary Bone and Joint Diseases in the Dog,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hereditary Bone and Joint Diseases in the Dog: Osteochondroses, Hip Dysplasia, Elbow Dysplasia (Hardcover)
This book is written for dog owners, breeders, and veterinarians. Topics include common skeleton lesions that affect the growth of many large breeds of dogs: osteochondroses, elbow dysplasia and hip dysplasia. The text is easily understandable and there are many x-rays to illustrate both normal and affected. Also discusssed are the genetic aspects of these diseases as well as the contributing nutritional and enviromental factors. Reference is made through out the text to the fact that breeding for increased size, increased early growth, along with nutrition and exercise absolutely impacts the development of these bone and joint diseases. The authors are responsible for the Wind/Morgan Program for Labradors at UC Davis: genetic screening of breeding stock with submission to the open database of The Institute of Genetic Disease Control in Animals (GDC). This book belongs in the library of anyone who undertakes the breeding of dogs.
