The femur and acetabulum are two parts of the hip joint that are normally perfectly aligned in a healthy dog. A dysplastic dog has a misaligned femur and acetabulum and can range from mild to severe cases. Mild cases of hip dysplasia can be controlled through medication and treatments provided by your veterinarian. However, severe cases cause Shar-Pei extensive pain and agony which in most cases leads to the dog being put down.

When selecting a Shar-Pei puppy, it is important to get a history of the parents. Many disorders, diseases, and abnormalities are passed down genetically. Be sure that the parents of the puppy you choose have a clear history of hip dysplasia through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. Since hip dysplasia is considered to be genetic, it is important that you be selective in your search and to choose a healthy pup.

Consult your veterinarian immediately if any of these symptoms are present:

  • Less energy and movement
  • Difficulty rising
  • Reluctance to use stairs (usually going up stairs)
  • Reluctance to jump
  • Reluctance to stand on hind limbs
  • Swaggering gait
  • Hopping gait
  • Soreness after physical activity
  • Soreness after lying down
  • Lameness in the back legs

The patella is the kneecap portion of the leg structure. If you put the two words together, the definition refers to the kneecap dislocation or a kneecap out of location. The patella normally moves up and down in a groove in the lower femur bone called the trochlear groove.

Luxation can be broken down into two types, medial and lateral. Medial is the most common type of luxation and includes the dislocation of the patella to the inside of the knee. Medial luxation is usually present at birth and not usually traumatic like that of lateral luxation.

On the contrary, lateral patellar luxation is the dislocation of the patella to the outside of the knee. Lateral luxation can also be present at birth. In some cases, a patella can be both medial and lateral. This disorder can affect one or both of the knees and can consist different degrees of pain.

Symptoms

Symptoms can occur as early as weaning or may be detected later in life. Listed below are a few symptoms of patellar luxation.

  • Rear leg lameness
  • Shifting from one leg to the other
  • Inability to fully extend the stifle
  • Frequent stopping and stretching of the rear leg
  • Hopping or skipping action

Frequent stopping and stretching is a major symptom of patellar luxation. The stretching of the leg allows the patella to pop back into its normal groove.

Diagnosis

Veterinarians can usually confirm diagnosis as early as eight weeks of age. Examinations should be done by an experienced veterinarian since ligaments are fragile as puppies and can be stretched easily. Degrees of patellar luxation varies between four different grades: Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, and Grade 4. Grade one is the least affected grade while grades three and four are permanent types of patellar luxation.

Grade 1: This is the lowest grade of patellar luxation and is usually accompanied by occasional carrying of the leg and slight skipping or hopping. This can easily be treated by a veterinarian who can manually return the patella to its normal position.

Grade 2: This is the second lowest grade of patellar luxation and is usually accompanied by frequent carrying of the leg. Your dog will occasionally put some weight on the leg but not use it as heavily as the others. When examined by a veterinarian, a crackling sensation, also known as crepitation, may occur. If this grade luxation is not treated, it can develop into degenerative joint changes.

Grade 3: Weight bearing may still be possible but the dogs stance will be somewhat bowlegged or crouched. At this stage, the luxation is considered a permanent dislocation and surgical procedures should take place right away. If the dog is young and still growing, it is especially important to perform the surgery as soon as possible. Abnormalities form rapidly in this stage.

Grade 4: This is the final stage of luxation and is also a permanent stage. The limb is always carried, bearing no weight. Surgery is recommended for bone deformities and the femur.

How is it treated?

There are a variety of treatments based on the severity of the disorder, age, and weight. Treatment can range from decreasing your pets activity to surgical reconstruction of the joint. Surgical procedures that involve reconstruction usually provide for a functional joint.

Treatment

Carpal Laxity is a treatable condition if the proper care is taken.  A visit to your veterinarian is the first step toward correcting the problem.  They can rule out other problems affecting the wrist area.

A change in diet is also a good idea with carpal laxity Shar-Pei.  Changing their food to adult maintenance food or puppy diets for large breeds slows down the growth rate to 2-3 pounds per week.  The general rule is one cup of dry food per six pounds of body weight with a maximum of 4-6 cups per day.

Surfaces with good footing can help with carpal laxity.  Try to avoid tile flooring, finished concrete, hardwood floors, linoleum, etc.  Carpet and grass are great surfaces for exercise since they provide good traction for strengthening the legs.

Vitamins and minerals should not be given to puppies with carpal laxity.  If your Shar-Pei is currently taking these supplements, it is recommended that you stop giving them to your pup.

Another way to help cure carpal laxity is to wrap the wrists in Ace bandages for additional support.  This should be done along with the other suggestions listed above for a maximum preventative.

If precautions are taken, front legs can straighten up within one to two weeks.  If the problem still persists, X-rays should be taken to further evaluate the problem.  The problem may consist of premature closure of the growth plates, bone cysts, or other problems.
