Arthritis Care atAnimal Hospital of Tiffin
Understanding Arthritis in Pets
Arthritis is a common condition in both dogs and cats, characterized by inflammation and degeneration of the joints. It can result from various factors, including age, injury, or underlying orthopedic conditions like hip dysplasia. While large breed dogs are more prone to arthritis, any pet can develop this condition, especially as they age.
Common Symptoms of Arthritis
- Limping or favoring a limb
- Stiffness, especially after resting
- Difficulty climbing stairs or jumping
- Reluctance to exercise or play
- Noticeable pain when touched
- Weight gain due to decreased activity
- Behavioral changes, such as irritability
If your pet exhibits any of these symptoms for more than a week, it’s essential to consult with a veterinarian. Early detection and treatment are key to managing arthritis effectively. Schedule a consultation today to explore effective treatment options and improve your pet’s quality of life.
