If the boxer's hind legs limp and rot, it is mostly caused by hip development disorder, which is also one of the main reasons for its limp and rot. Hip dysplasia is an arthritis disease caused by hip joint relaxation, so attention should be paid to hip dysplasia when raising boxer dogs.

Hip dysplasia occurs at the joint between femur and pelvic fossa and ball joint. It happens in dogs where joints are loose because they are kept in fixed tissue. Over time, the relaxation in the joint will lead to the abnormality of the ball joint and fossa bone. Hip dysplasia is usually seen in older dogs, not puppies. Studies have not shown that tissue relaxation does not change with time since dogs are young. The problem in old age is that dogs develop arthritis due to long-term joint relaxation.

The main resources for information and research on hip dysplasia are provided by the Animal Plastic Surgery Foundation (OFA). . OFA believes that the test of hip dysplasia will not change much after the dog grows to four months old. As a precautionary measure, they do require that dogs over two years old be tested to prove it. When dealing with the health problems of dogs, it is better to be cautious and not make mistakes, which is the reason behind testing adult dogs.

When testing hip dysplasia, the signs may be that there are different tissues and never show symptoms of severe claudication. What has been shown is the problem of buttocks. The seriousness of X-ray film is not necessarily equal to the dog's limping. The diagnosis itself was made after X-ray examination. After the X-ray examination is completed, photos of the hip joint are taken from the pelvis to the knee of the animal. When taking X-rays, the dog's posture is very important, so it must be calm to take definitive photos. Once X-rays are taken, they will be examined by veterinarians trained in the field of developmental disorders assessment. The veterinarian will grade the dog's buttocks. The level of developmental disorders detected is divided into six grades: excellent, good, medium, indistinguishable, medium and severe.

Boxers and dog owners have many concerns about hip dysplasia. OFA shows that boxer dogs are currently ranked 67th among all breeds. Among the boxer dogs tested, 2.9% achieved excellent results, while those exceeding 1 1% were stunted.

For dog owners, the best way in the future is to choose a dog breeder who has tested their boxer dog's hip development disorder and other general health problems. When the parents of puppies are proved to have no hereditary hip problems, the chances of giving birth to healthy boxer puppies can be increased. It is usually expensive to buy a dog from a dog owner with a boxer's dog license. In the long run, it is worthwhile, because you will add a healthier and happier new member to your family.
