Canine Hip Dyspepsia is a disease that is caused due to deficiency of vitamin C. In this disease there is bleeding gums, brittle bones and corroded ligaments. The disease is prevalent among dogs too. Though it is supposed that dogs do not need vitamin C their body has the power to generate it. It is absolutely a false notion. They need it to a great extent. Now the question that moves the modern scientists is why do dogs suffer from vitamin C deficiency.

A thorough investigation proves that Canine Hip Dyspepsia is not detected among all dogs. It depends on the history of the breeding. it is the discovery of some scientists that the dogs that suffer from Hip Dysplasia give birth to Puppies that suffer acutely from Hip Dyspepsia.

Again owing to acute inhibition of collagen in a body muscles and bones become weak.This collagen deficiency is caused primarily due to the deficiency of vitamin C in the food items.

It is evident too among canines that stress helps them to produce vitamin C .It is not so in the case of human beings. Man needs necessary supplements to combat the deficiency. Dogs generally do not ...
... prefer fruits or other vegetables packed with vitamin C.So there is a possibility of being a victim of scurvy or in other words, Canine Hip Dyspepsia.

Sometimes dogs are seen to chew grass or green vegetation.It is their natural instinct that goads them to do so.When they suffer from acute shortage of vitaminC they chew green leaves.The dogs are prone to Canine Hip Dyspepsia as they can't make ascorbic acid in their body. Again the food that they take does not contain Vitamin C hence the suffering becomes much acute.

It can be asserted that the domestic dogs are more prone to Canine Hip Dyspepsia.The cause is that the domestic Puppies can not have the vegetation that the stray dogs or Puppies have.The Stray puppies roam after their will and eat whatever they find.As a result some amount of Vitamin C is taken beyond their knowledge.

On the other hand domestic Puppies are totally controlled by their masters who always think that the puppies need no such dietary supplement in extra amount, so skip the process and lead the puppy towards Canine Hip Dyspepsia quite unknowingly.The stray puppies also have some extra addition of vitamin C as their mothers kill animals and the dead livers of the dead animals offer a large amount of Vitamin C.
