Hind limb lameness in the young patient.
Hind limb lameness is seen frequently in young dogs and may result from congenital abnormalities, traumatic injuries, or developmental diseases. An understanding of the patient's history, a good physical and radiographic evaluation, and sound knowledge of the common diseases affecting immature dogs permit early diagnosis and successful treatment in most cases.
