Incidence, risk factors, and heritability estimates of hind limb lameness caused by hip dysplasia in a birth cohort of Boxers

Abstract

Registration of Boxers that develop cCHD may provide a strategy for disease prevention. In addition to diagnostic evaluation of radiographs, sire EBVs provide useful information for breeding selection decisions.

Gonadectomy in Cats and Dogs: A Review of Risks and Benefits

“…There is a possible influence of GX on the development of CHD. Neutered Boxers, with a mean age of 3 years at neutering, were 1.5 times as likely to develop CHD as sexually intact dogs (Van Hagen et al. 2005).…”

“…2005). However, body weight was not included in this analysis, and there are no data on the influence of the timing of GX (Van Hagen et al. 2005).…”

Gesundheitliche Vor- und Nachteile der Kastration von Hündinnen und Rüden

“…Die Entwicklung der Hüftgelenksdysplasie (HD) scheint durch die Gonadektomie beeinflusst zu werden (van Hagen et al, 2005). So haben kastrierte Boxer ein 1.5fach erhöhtes Risiko für HD im Vergleich zu intakten Hunden.…”

Gonadectomia pré-puberal em cães e gatos

“…VAN HAGEN et al (2005) afirmaram que cães gonadectomizados apresentam risco 1,5 vezes maior de DCF, mas os autores não consideraram o peso do animal e a idade à gonadectomia, sugerindo possível correlação com obesidade. SPAIN et al (2004a) verificaram aumento na prevalência de DCF em cães castrados antes dos 5,5 meses (6,7%), em comparação àqueles cães castrados entre 5,5 meses e um ano de idade (4,7%), mas os animais acometidos, castrados pré-puberdade, apresentavam forma menos severa de DCF, corroborando os achados de HOWE et al (2001).…”
