Caesar attended vet today

March 20, 2017 by Crossroads Dingo Rescue   No comments   Filed Under: Caesar, Dingo Diary, jerry

Caesar attended vet today , he had his hips x-rayed , left hip shows muscle wasting and also hip dysplasia this has been diagnosed as genetic . he is on carprofen , he is 7 months old.
this will deteriorate with time ,so he is to be managed .
if re homed his new home will be informed of this problem and they too will need to be observant and manage his difficulties as they arrive . he can have surgery when it becomes worse, this will be to remove the hip .
be aware when purchasing dingoes, ask for hip test results . the breeders have to be held accountable , hips must be checked a certificate of clearance for parents and grandparents .
this problem is becoming more apparent with domestic bred dingoes . it is caused by breeding practises . no wild dingo would have these genetic problems .
Caesar was bred by Tania Hancock Arthur River .
make sure should you buy ,that all breeders have their breeding stock hip checked .
would you have noticed this boys hips ? or would you have put it down to his normal gait ?.
vet informs me many dingoes are coming in with this problem.
be observant don’t ignore the obvious .
breeders tell me this is normal they are able to dislocate hips and shoulders this is what the problem is , and i say “no its not !
the dingo is a finally tuned machine designed to survive the harsh terrains to endure , no weakness will ensure his survival and nothing but the fittest strongest survive, no wild born dingo will have the problems being noted within domestic bred dingoes , these problems are breeding problems .
