Elbow dysplasia in dogs
Elbow dysplasia, a hereditary disease in dogs, occurs in various forms. These include fragmented medial ulnar coronoid process (FCP), isolated anconeal process (IPA), and osteochondrosis (OCD). All of these diseases are growth-related diseases that unfortunately cannot be cured.
FCP and OCD are among the most common causes of lameness in young dogs. They typically occur between four and five months when the dog is in the central growth phase.
