There are two main methods of treatment for dog hip dysplasia: conservative treatment and surgical treatment. If the dog’s condition is not serious and has little impact on daily life, conservative treatment can be chosen. If the dog's condition is serious and has affected daily life, surgical treatment is required. It is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for treatment in time and formulate a systematic treatment plan.

1. Conservative treatment

For conservative treatment, joint health care drugs can be given to the dog to protect the joints. At the same time, dogs can also be given anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs to reduce their pain and repair their bones and joints. Secondly, owners should avoid strenuous exercise with their dogs in daily life, and reduce the frequency of taking their dogs out to reduce pressure and wear on the hip joints and prevent further development of incomplete dislocation. If the dog is obese, it is necessary to control the diet, change the nutritional content, and lose weight to help the recovery of the joints.

In addition, swimming can also be used to allow dogs to exercise their body muscles without gravity, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing ligaments and joints, thereby delaying or preventing the onset of the disease.

2. Surgical treatment

Surgery is performed under general anesthesia to correct bone deformities and joint anastomoses. Common surgical methods include: pelvic tripartite incision, trochanteric displacement osteotomy, femoral head and neck resection, and artificial hip replacement. Different methods need to be selected according to the age and condition of the dog. Surgical treatment options.

Note: Dogs are all susceptible to hip dysplasia, especially medium and large dogs, which are genetically predisposed to cause degenerative arthritis of the hip joint in dogs. If not treated promptly, it will continue to deteriorate throughout life.
