Hip dysplasia in a 6-year-old Salz ram

Can Vet J. 2003 Feb;44(2):140-1.

Abstract

A 6-year old Salz ram was presented with a history of poor body condition, progressive gait abnormalities, pelvic limb lameness, and difficulty with copulation. Based on the history, clinical signs, hip palpation, and radiography, a diagnosis of hip dysplasia, previously unreported in sheep, was made.
