Can hip dysplasia in dogs be cured, or only managed with treatment?

Question

Is there a cure for hip dysplasia In dogs? I have a young male Labrador retriever with hip dysplasia and I want to know if it is 100% curable or if there is only treatment to help the symptoms?

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Unfortunately no, there is no cure for hip dysplasia. It can be managed medically with drugs and physical therapy as well as acupuncture and hydrotherapy. Now surgery can be done if it's severe, but it won't cure it.
