Why does a dog get osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis in dogs, also called degenerative joint disease, affects joints through cartilage breakdown and inflammation. Common symptoms include stiffness, reduced mobility and pain, which can lead to reduced quality of life. Causes can be genetic factors, age or obesity.

How do you tell if a dog has osteoarthritis?

Identifying osteoarthritis in dogs requires attention to various behavioral patterns and physical changes. Common indicators include:

1. Stiffness and reduced mobility : Difficulty getting up from a lying or sitting position, or stepping up or down from high places such as stairs.

2. Reduced activity level : Dogs with osteoarthritis tend to be less active than before and may avoid play or exercise.

3. Increased desire to rest : An increased tendency to rest or sleep more often than usual can be a sign of pain and discomfort.

4. Changed walking patterns : The dog may start to walk in a way that reduces the load on the affected joints, which can be an indication of pain.

5. More pronounced pain reactions : Whining, moaning or increased sensitivity when touching or handling the affected joints.

6. Muscle atrophy: Decreased muscle mass around the affected joints due to less use or activity.

7. Changes in behavior : Dogs with osteoarthritis may show signs of discomfort or frustration, including aggression or anxiety.

It is important to contact a veterinarian for a professional assessment if you suspect your dog is suffering from osteoarthritis, as early detection and appropriate treatment can improve the dog's quality of life.
