Canine elbow dysplasia effects more than fifty large breed dogs. Over the years, evidence of these joint problems has increased, the exact cause is unknown, however, many practitioners have a theory that it could possibly be because of poor breeding practices or increased awareness of the condition.
Canine Elbow Dyplasia is abnormalities in the joints and bones that make up the elbow, the humerus and the ulna.
Symptoms of elbow dysplasia occurs in young large-breed dogs, and most commonly appear at five to eight months old. However, some breeds may not show and symptoms for several years.
Most owners will notice a stiffness in one limb when their dog is walking, and this stiffness if most noticeable when their dog gets up in the morning or after exercise and play. In older dogs, the joint may make a "popping or clicking" sound.
Surgery can help with some of the pain, but since the cause is a malformation of the joint, it is very common for arthrisits to occur also. It is believed that surgery followed by glucosamine and chondroitin treatment over a long period of time is the best way to treat elbow dysplasia.
Some of the most common types of canine elbow dysplasia is believed to be caused by trauma or injury, abnormal joints, genetics and other factors.

Accidents such as jumping from somewhere high to being hit by a car, can cause damage to ligaments, soft tissue, and can fracture joints. Your dog should be checked by your vet for joint soundness. Studies have proven that pet owners need to be made aware that early treatment of an injured joint can help reduce permanent damage, and delay the onset of arthritis, as it is very common for osteoarthritis to occur in a damaged joint at some time.
