Topic Dog Boards / Health / Misalignment and tilted pelvis
- By peppe [gb] Date 19.06.20 11:02 UTC
I have a 2 1/2 yrs old aussie who have been found to have a misalignment and tilt in the left side of her pelvis is this common in this breed.

My daughter has two Aussies and I have known several others from the agility circuit and haven't heard of this. Is the problem skeletal or muscular? If the later it may be caused by an injury causing the dog to hold herself badly and may be helped by a chiropractor. Quite often dogs don't show signs of injuries and just compensate to avoid pain.

I've had it in two dobermanns.  My dogs' chiropractor found it and realigned them.  Depends what the cause is though, has the vet given any suggestions?

ETA I also get a tilt myself, to the right, which is due to arthritis in my left foot altering my gait.  Again my chiro sorts it out, but it's an ongoing issue for me.  The dogs needed one treatment each and it was sorted.

Our vets are very good as they are nearly all groups now. She had her hips done at year and a half and they were 4-5 which is good for our breed. how do you find a good chiro.

Should say not very good.

4/5 hips aren't a bad score. That's a total of 9.

Local recommendation

It's worth asking ones that are nearby if they know of any in the area who does dogs.  Mine has recommend two others in the past for clients, neither of whom were listed on the website at the time.
