There is a genetic susceptibility to articular dysplasia in Cane Corso dogs, and as a result, a small percentage of these dogs will develop the condition. If your Cane Corso dog exhibits any of the following signs of lameness, stiffness, or gait problems, it is important to bring him or her into see a veterinarian: recurrent hind limb lameness; frequent recurrence of joint pain; decreased activity and reluctance to move around; X-rays revealed abnormal disks in the hips.
