Arthritis

In addition to affecting our dogs and cats, arthritis is an illness that is typically linked to ageing in people. The likelihood of developing arthritis increases with age in pets. Typically, a prior injury that damaged the joints was the reason. Inflammation and the joint’s progressive degradation worsen as your pet gets older. This causes agony.

An inflammation of the joints is arthritis. It may impact a single joint or a number of joints. Dogs frequently develop arthritis; one in five will do so at some point in their lives. A joint degenerative disorder will also affect an estimated 12 million cats. Veterinarians typically find arthritis in older dogs and cats, and it is considerably more common in animals over the age of 10.

When the cartilage between the joints gradually wears away and there are irregularities in the joints, it is referred to as arthritis. As we move, the cartilage acts as a cushion to safeguard the joints. This deterioration eventually results in discomfort and agony. If untreated, the pain might limit mobility and cause lameness.
