Progressive joint degeneration, especially when coupled with damage from a previous injury or strain can put a little strain on these longer lifespans, however. Many senior pups simply live with pain, but there are ways to promote comfort and relaxation. Arthritis in dogs may be par for the course, but medical treatment and supportive measures at home can reduce painful symptoms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ouch Factor<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthritis is characterized by joint inflammation. Found in one in five dogs, arthritis is a common condition <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sbahvet.com\/senior-pet-health-taking-great-care-of-your-golden-oldie\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">over the age of ten<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Any joint can be affected, and some dogs have arthritis in multiple joints, including the elbow, knee, hips, shoulders, wrists, ankles, and spine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often, arthritis develops long after a fracture or physical trauma to a body part. Arthritis in dogs can also begin at birth or develop as a result from other joint issues in life, such as hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, or patellar luxation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When cartilage between joints wears down over time, arthritis makes movement painful. Consequently, a loss of flexibility and mobility is not unusual.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of Arthritis in Dogs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually the first sign of arthritis in dogs is a general and gradual slowing of pace. They may also not jump up the way they used to, preferring to avoid falls. Other common indicators include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limping, or favoring one leg or side\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stiffness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased fatigue or lethargy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decreased interest in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sbahvet.com\/what-are-some-useful-dog-walking-tips-for-first-time-dog-owners\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">previously enjoyed activity<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, like running or hopping into the car<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obvious sensitivity when touched or handled<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swelling<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over-attention to the affected area<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irritability, aggression, or withdrawal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sbahvet.com\/a-case-of-the-ouchies-the-importance-of-pet-pain-awareness\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quality of LIfe<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthritis in dogs can cause secondary health problems. Reduced exercise and activity can lead to weight gain. Obesity can decrease their overall quality of life and may lead to heart disease, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sbahvet.com\/the-highs-and-lows-of-diabetes-in-pets\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">diabetes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and liver disease. Any extra weight can place more pressure on the joints, increasing the side effects of arthritis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic pain can also change a dog\u2019s personality and disposition, increasing possible risks of aggression towards other animals in the house or family members.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagnosis and Treatment<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sbahvet.com\/services\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">physical examination, X-rays, and other diagnostics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are instrumental in diagnosing arthritis in dogs.
