Arthritis in dogs impacts joints and the tissues surrounding them, causing pain from normal movement. As pets live longer, it\u2019s becoming more common. There\u2019s no cure for the condition, but you can help your pup manage symptoms and stay active.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is osteoarthritis?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis in dogs. The cartilage that cushions the ends of bones wears away as dogs age. That can cause discomfort, inflammation, or decreased range of motion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Risk factors for arthritis in dogs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any dog can develop arthritis in old age, but certain factors make it more likely. Risk factors include previous orthopedic injuries, genetics, and being overweight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of arthritis in dogs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of arthritis in dogs are similar to those experienced by people. Here are signs you can identify they could be experiencing arthritis pain:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reluctance to play or climb stairs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lameness, or walking stiffly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty getting up or laying down<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lethargy\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weight gain<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some dogs will try to hide their pain until it\u2019s severe. It can be difficult to watch once-active dogs slow down and lose interest in normal activities. The good news is advancements in veterinary medicine can provide pain relief and support for arthritic dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to treat arthritis in dogs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your dog starts showing any of these warning signs, schedule an appointment with your veterinarian for a full exam and to develop a treatment plan. \u201cThere are many different options that can help a dog with arthritis,\u201d says Sara Ochoa, DVM, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a small animal and exotic veterinarian in Texas and a veterinary consultant for <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/doglab.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">doglab.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cThings such as pain medication, cold laser therapy, [supplements like] glucosamine and chondroitin, and even certain surgeries can be done to help your dog.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthritis is not a condition that can be cured, but the symptoms can be greatly reduced through medical management. For most dogs that will mean using multiple modalities of treatment including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequent low intensity activity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dietary changes to maintain a healthy body weight<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prescription medications<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dietary supplements such as omega three fatty acids and glucosamine chondroitin<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surgery<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternative treatments (such as acupuncture or laser therapy)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medication<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical therapy<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your vet will be able to help you tailor strategies for your dog taking into consideration age, lifestyle, and any other medical conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medication options for treating arthritis in dogs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many vets will prescribe medication to keep dogs with arthritis as comfortable as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMost arthritis medications work by decreasing inflammation and\/or pain,\u201d explains Jennifer Coates, DVM, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a small animal veterinarian in Colorado who serves on the advisory board for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/petlifetoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pet Life Today<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cSome arthritis supplements have a similar, albeit often less powerful action, but may also improve joints by promoting cartilage health and the production of protective joint fluid.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NSAIDs for dogs<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These anti-inflammatory medications are similar to the ibuprofen or aspirin you would find at the local drug store. But, they are formulated specifically for your pooch. Just don\u2019t share from your medicine cabinet. Over-the-counter Advil or Aleve are toxic to dogs and should never be given. Doggy NSAID options include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deramaxx (deracoxib)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EtoGesic (etodolac)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metacam (meloxicam)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Previcox (firocoxib)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rimadyl (carprofen)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Galliprant (Grapiprant)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When supervised by a vet, NSAID therapy can be a safe treatment option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prescription pain relievers<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many times an additional pain medication may be used in conjunction with an NSAID. These medications are frequently pain medications used in people. These can include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/amantadine-hcl\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amantadine<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/gabapentin\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gabapentin<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/tramadol-hcl\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tramadol<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a vet prescribes one of these medications, you can pick them up at the pharmacy where you get your own prescriptions filled, and use your SingleCare card to save.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your veterinarian will explain the dosage of each medication that is appropriate for your dog. It depends on the medication and the size of your dog.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have arthritis, too, don\u2019t just share your prescription with your pet. Dr. Coates cautions \u201chuman arthritis medications can be very dangerous for dogs and can lead to serious side effects when given at the wrong dose, in conjunction with other medications, or to a dog with other health problems.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dosage can vary dramatically between dogs, and the wrong amount can cause severe and significant side effects including \u201cgastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding, vomiting, liver damage, kidney damage, and blood clotting disorders,\u201d explains Dr. Coates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preventing arthritis in dogs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like your health, prevention for your pooch is extremely important. Ensuring that your dog has regular veterinary care, a good diet, healthy amounts of exercise, and maintains a healthy weight will all support, prevent, or slow down the development of arthritis as your dog ages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to find and develop a relationship with a veterinarian who you and your dog trust so that you have a preexisting relationship if your dog begins to experience arthritis symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just like their owners, dogs can develop arthritis as they age.
