Hip dysplasia with arthritis
Findings are Pro only. Every normal study is free; Pro opens each finding beside its normal.
See ProWhat to look for
- An 11-year-old Brittany spaniel with both hips dysplastic
- New bone on the femoral necks and around the sockets: osteoarthritis
- Shallow, remodelled acetabula: the end stage of a loose hip
Against the normal
Read every bone's outline and density, then every joint: the space, the margins and the bone under the cartilage. Compare with the other limb, and always take at least two views at right angles.

Read the film, then see the anatomy in 3D.
Vetomica puts every bones and joints structure on this x-ray in a complete 3D dog you can peel, cut and X-ray from any angle, with every imaging finding beside its normal and practice at reading films.
The 3D animals are free every day up to a daily limit, no card. Imaging findings are Pro; every normal study stays free.
