Recently, a lot has been said about joint problems in dogs. Unfortunately, they are increasingly more common and they result not only from the genetically determined predispositions of the dog, but also from rapidly developing civilization diseases.
Causes of joint diseases:
? Genetic predisposition and congenital diseases such as Wobbler’s disease.
? Developmental disorders: hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, sterile osteochondral necrosis (OCD) and many others.
? Hormonal problems, including an overactive parathyroid gland.
? Metabolic disorders.
? Cancer.
? Degenerative joint disease.
? Degenerative diseases of the spine such as cauda equina syndrome and degeneration of the intervertebral discs.
? Infectious and autoimmune diseases, including Lyme disease and rheumatoid diseases.
? Obesity.
? Fractures with joint damage.
Some dogs can be masters in masking their pain and disease symptoms, so sometimes it happens that our beloved pets live for many years with pain and problems with joint mobility, we – their owners – do not know about it.
However, with careful observation, you might finds some of these symptoms:
? decreased activity,
? lameness or a clear relief of one of the limbs,
? avoiding jumping and climbing, for example, on a sofa or stairs,
? longer naps,
? running away from hugs and cuddles,
? avoiding playtime,
? visible stiffness in the joint,
? difficulty standing up or visible pain.
