Arthritis
in Dogs
Have
you noticed that your Fido is limping when he plays fetch,
or your Fluffy isn’t chasing squirrels the way she
used to? When your dog appears to be less interested in
playful activities, it could be a sign of arthritis. In
dogs, arthritis is very similar to arthritis in humans.
Simply stated, arthritis in dogs is a swelling inside the
dog’s joints. This swelling leads to pain and stiffness
when the dog tries to move.
 Unlike
arthritis in people, arthritis in dogs is not something
the puppy patient can tell you about directly. In order
to notice an ailment like arthritis in dogs, dog owners
must watch for the warning signs:
•
Favoring a leg
•
Difficulty standing or sitting
•
Desire to sleep more
•
Hesitating to jump, climb, or run
•
Decreased interest in play
•
Weight gain
•
Depressed mood
Suffering
with the above symptoms for more than two weeks is a clear
indication of arthritis in dogs. A veterinarian should be
able to do an examination and X-rays to determine if arthritis
is present. Early detection is very important for arthritis
in dogs so that treatment can begin and joints are saved
from further damage.
There
are several prescription medications and other treatments
for arthritis in dogs. Lifestyle changes such as a healthy
diet, short walks several times a day, and maintaining a
healthy weight are excellent ways to ease the pain and inflammation
of arthritis in dogs. Certain dietary supplements have also
been successful in rebuilding the joints weakened by arthritis
in dogs, as well as reducing inflammation and free-radical
damage. Dr. Prange’s Maximum Joint Enhancer for Dogs
contains a unique combination of chondroitin, MSM, manganese,
and glucosamine which all work together to repair joints
and improve the mobility of dogs with arthritis. The symptoms
of arthritis in dogs can begin to be alleviated in days
