Learn more about hip dysplasia at: www.hipdysplasia.org My wife and I first became aware of hip dysplasia when our son Wyatt was born with the condition.

At the time we thought that the condition was just in dogs. We quickly came to find that not only is it very common, but also that there was very little universal information out there about the condition. You can imagine how difficult it was to hear that “it happens sometimes” and that it “might correct itself”. Those aren’t exactly the kind of answers that new parents want to hear. After researching on our own, we realized how this condition could cause any number of problems with Wyatt as he got older. We just weren’t willing to accept that “it might correct itself”. Through our research we heard of the Pavlik Harness, a common correctional device, but due to Wyatt’s smaller, 6 pound birth, we would literally have to tape him into the harness.
