Basic site, not showing the research they base their article on, nor in any, how to catch this early, before symptoms are visible.
If the first the very first sign of lameness means the femoral head has not de-constructed and then re modelled, that would be very good for pet owners to know, not to DELAY in getting their dogs X-rayed to see what is going on.
I remain with my recommendations, that all Yorkies should have OFFA on the hips done, before breeding! This should help to insure Leggs Calves Perthes dogs are not bred. And of course the YTCA AND THE CYTA, to fund research into this disease.!
