Elbow dysplasia in dogs is a genetic disorder that causes abnormal cells to grow in a dog’s elbow tissue, causing deformity. It is most prevalent in Rottweilers, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Chow Chows. While signs of elbow dysplasia may appear earlier, it is typically not diagnosed until 6 months of age; at this point, a dog’s growth plates will be fully closed.
