Atlas and His Severe Case of Hip Dysplasia
Atlas the Golden Retriever was diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia from the age of 6 months. Referred to Veterinary Specialist of Sydney and examined by the VSOS orthopaedic team, Atlas was diagnosed with a severe case of Hip Dysplasia on both hips.
X-ray Results
They analysed the X-ray of Atlas’s hips and discussed the severity of Hip Dysplasia and how this impacted Atlas’s walking and way of living. Atlas diagnosis was on the severe side of the spectrum, with the x-rays showing less than 5% alignment to the hip socket on one side, and approx 1% on the other. A normal hip should sit around 50%.
Surgery
Atlas underwent surgery on his right hip. The surgery was a success and after recovering for a few months, Atlas will be back to have his left hip surgically repaired as well. Amazingly, Atlas was able to walk out of the clinic unaided!
