Harkleen Maine Coon Cats of Ontario Canada

Unfortunately Feline Hip Dysplasia (FHD) is a fact of life in Maine Coons.
The following is a % breakdown of all MC whose x-rays were sent to the
Orthopedic Foundation For Animals (OFA) for certification.

1996 the % of dysplastic MC was 24.8%
1997= 20%
1998=20.8%
The OFA ratings for Hip Dysplasia are Severe, Moderate, Boderline, Fair, Good, and
Excellent. Hip Dysplasia is a poly genetic (recessive) trait although the parents are
certified clear it is possible for them to produce a dysplastic offspring, however the
chances are greatly reduced when you use clear parents. Click on the link at the
bottom of this page and you can see x-rays of the different grades of dysplasia in
Maine Coon Cats. It is important to note that Maine Coons are not the only breed
of cats affected by Feline Hip Dysplasia.
