What are the symptoms of UAP?
The results of a physical examination are often highly suggestive of this problem. However, other conditions can cause elbow dysplasia, including fragmented coronoid process (FCP) and osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). UAP can be diagnosed by means of radiographs of the elbow. In some cases, this may require a short-acting anesthetic or sedative in order to achieve the optimal positioning for diagnostic purposes. In some cases, it may be necessary to have the x-rays examined by a veterinary radiologist for confirmation of the diagnosis.
