As dogs age, osteoarthritis becomes an increasingly debilitating condition, much like in humans. Certain dog breeds are more prone to this joint disease than others. So, to anticipate and treat it, what better than a natural treatment? It is well known that these animals age faster than humans. The passing of years can bring about many ailments in some of them. The products offered by Labo Demeter are here to help you relieve your dog's osteoarthritis. With Canisil, you can soothe the joints and improve the mobility of your four-legged companion, without fear of compromising their health.
What is Osteoarthritis in Dogs?
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease caused by the wear and tear of the tissues covering the dog's joints. Often located in the hips, knees, elbows, and other bone structures, this condition causes intense pain. Osteoarthritis in dogs is divided into two types:
- Primary Osteoarthritis: Primary osteoarthritis, also called primitive osteoarthritis, is associated with aging. It results from cartilage wear, related to age and the decreased ability of cartilage to regenerate;
- Secondary Osteoarthritis: In some puppies, secondary osteoarthritis can occur due to abnormal forces exerted on the joint. It may be related to hip dysplasia, osteochondritis dissecans of the shoulder, elbow malformations or congenital issues, poorly reduced fractures, and ligament tears.
The causes of osteoarthritis are numerous: aging, joint trauma, genetic abnormalities, dietary disorders, obesity... Additionally, overly intense physical activity can contribute to the onset of osteoarthritis in dogs.
Detecting Osteoarthritis in Dogs
To detect osteoarthritis in dogs, you can observe their behavior. The symptoms of osteoarthritis are divided into three stages.
In the case of stage 1 osteoarthritis, you may notice "cold" pain, characterized by stiffness or refusal when your companion attempts certain movements. They shift their weight to limbs that do not cause pain, leading to lameness. As a result, your dog limps, has difficulty walking, and struggles to stand up.
Your dog may also exhibit more intense and dramatic symptoms, such as crying, refusal to be touched, or biting, as osteoarthritis progresses and becomes very painful. They may also show obvious lameness and may even be unable to stand. All these symptoms indicate stage 2 osteoarthritis.
In stage 3 osteoarthritis, your dog's joint is completely blocked, preventing them from performing certain movements.
