Our Expert Opinion from the Pharmacy
Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease in dogs, cats, and horses and is characterized by joint wear and tear, which can cause problems during movement, such as pain. It is triggered by a specific issue within the joint, then persists as the wear and tear worsens. Depending on whether the animal is a dog or a cat, the signs of osteoarthritis will vary slightly.
In dogs, several stages can be identified based on how far the disease has progressed. In the very early stages, the dog gradually stops running and jumping, is reluctant to move, and may occasionally limp. After a period of rest (“cold”), its gait will be stiff when it stands up from a lying or sitting position. The animal experiences chronic pain and discomfort. As the pain becomes more pronounced and intense, the dog may whine when moving, when bumped, or when pressure is applied to its joints.
Cats rarely show signs of pain, so the first signs of this condition are often behavioral changes. The symptoms of osteoarthritis, which are very easy to observe in dogs, are rarely noticeable in cats. Most often, the cat will barely move because of the pain; it grooms itself less, and its fur becomes matted. It becomes more irritable, may become soiled if it has trouble getting into its litter box, and may develop anxiety. Limping is rarely an obvious warning sign; however, if you notice that your cat is having trouble jumping, climbing onto furniture, or going up stairs… talk to your veterinarian.
