When we breed a Border Collie, we need to understand its behavioral habits and what genetic diseases it has. This way when a Border Collie has a genetic disease, it can be detected and brought in for treatment in a timely manner. Hip dysplasia is a genetic disorder of the Border Collie. So, what should you do when your Border Collie has hip dysplasia? How to treat it? A: Symptoms of the onset of the Border Collie is relatively large, and it usually likes to exercise. When the border collie suffers from hip dysplasia, it will show symptoms of inactivity, laziness and lethargy in the early stage. When degenerative arthritis appears, its joints will become painful. At the same time, when it exercises, it will have its head and neck extended or low, its weight will be placed on the front limbs, and its walking posture will become abnormal. In severe cases, it will directly lead to paralysis of the Border Collie and the inability to walk. Second: Treatment of the disease is not very effective with medication and can only be relieved slightly with painkillers. If it is found early, it can be cured by proper exercise and reducing its weight, or by swimming in water with surgical treatment. If the disease is detected too late, it can only be treated by surgical removal. Therefore, in the process of raising the Border Collie, we should carefully observe its physical condition and take it to the veterinary hospital for professional examination if we find that it is unmotivated and lazy. Proper exercise can enhance its physical fitness and reduce the probability of the disease.
