Hüftgelenksdysplasie bei der Katze – Eine häufig übersehene Erkrankung

Die Hüftgelenksdysplasie kommt bei Katzen relativ häufig vor, wird aber nur selten erkannt. Um die Therapie optimal danach ausrichten zu können, lohnt es sich Behandlungsverläufe zu hinterfragen und genauer hinzusehen. Welche Prädispositionen und welche klinischen Symptome es gibt, wie hoch die Prävalenz dieser Erkrankung ist und welche diagnostischen und therapeutischen Möglichkeiten zur Verfügung stehen, erfahren Sie im vorliegenden Beitrag.
