Hip Dysplasia Pride Flag

PT: Hip Dysplasia Pride Flag /end PT

ID: A flag with five diagonal lines from left to right. Their colors are yellow, grey, cyan, grey and yellow. The center line and the lines outside are larger. end ID

Hip Dysplasia: an abnormality of the hip joint where the socket portion does not fully cover the ball portion, resulting in an increased risk for joint dislocation. Hip dysplasia may occur at birth or develop in early life. Regardless, it does not typically produce symptoms in babies less than a year old. Occasionally one leg may be shorter than the other. The left hip is more often affected than the right. Complications without treatment can include arthritis, limping, and low back pain.

Flag meaning:

Yellow lines: different types of hip dysplasia

Grey lines: Syndromes/disabilities/disorders often due to hip dysplasia (arthritis, limping, and low back pain...)

Cyan line: Pride and fighting against ableism

@j-wnchstr the first few posts scared me... it wasn’t dissimilar to what i felt during jared’s incident in austin last month. I’m so glad he’s okay now and apparently well enough to be on social media.

Impatiently waiting for the new Puppy Culture workbook to come out (FOURTEEN DAYS TO GO!), in the mean time here’s their old exercise guidelines! There’s a newer one but it’s much too big for tumblr (freely available link)

See? Tiny on tumblr! 

We are in the second last column of guidelines right now. Hence why I’m starting to teach him how to rebound and do sharp turns safely, but with only a few repetitions each day to avoid straining him. He is still growing after all, even though he looks all grown up now. I will share a video of rebound tonight! They’re both almost completely vertical on target!

I’ve noticed in play, Thistle has taken up body-slamming him so have been regulating that on our outings, as I don’t want injury on him.

(Thistle got time out immediately after this aka stuck on lead for a couple of minutes until she calmed down)

I bought the activity book prior to buying Thyme to mentally prep myself for his lower exercise allowances compared to Thistle, especially being a medium-large purebred significantly increasing his risks. It was really good! I liked how it incorporated that one study that found that dogs allowed to use steps frequently had increased dysplasia, but those who are allowed moderate exercise on natural slopes had decreased incidences of dysplasia. If only the study included a report on how the frequency of puppy-jumping-up-and-launching-self-off-objects-to-the-owners-horror affected it.

This facebook post by the puppy culture people gives you a sneak peak at the hardcopy booklet but tbh all the info is on their website.

So far so good n_n we had worries about a luxating patella for a month there, but turned out it was just his hind legs growing faster than the back legs and he has since evened out. He has his next check up next week!

radial dysplasia mad pride flag?

Radial Dysplasia Pride Flag

Radial dysplasia is a congenital difference occurring in a longitudinal direction resulting in radial deviation of the wrist and shortening of the forearm. It can occur in different ways, from a minor anomaly to complete absence of the radius, radial side of the carpal bones and thumb. Hypoplasia of the distal humerus may be present as well and can lead to stiffness of the elbow.

Flag meaning:

Pastel yellow lines: different types of radial dysplasia

Pastel red lines: Syndromes/disabilities often associated with radial dysplasia (cardiovascular Holt-Oram syndrome, gastrointestinal VATER syndrome...)

Bluish grey line: Pride and fighting against ableism
