Founded in 1966 to help quantify the incidence of hip dysplasia and help breeders reduce its manifestation, the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (5) reads radiographs (x-rays) and catalogs information
about hip and elbow dysplasia (joint malformations), thyroid
disease, congenital cardiac
disease, and patellar luxation (loose kneecaps), and offers DNA testing for several
diseases, including copper toxicosis, progressive retinal atrophy (an eye
disease), Von Willebrand
disease (a bleeding disorder) and renal dysplasia (a
kidney abnormality).
