Symptoms of Dog Arthritis - Family - Pets

Human speak, dog bark. Dog are communicating through barking. When dogs are in pain they can’t tell us “Bring me to the doctor!” These build up the communication barrier between dog owners and dog.


So, we can’t evaluate the health and illness of our dog. How can we know when our dog falls sick?


Dog arthritis is a common issue that impact dog health. I had compiled all the signs and symptoms of arthritis dog. Different dogs showed different symptoms of dog arthritis.


Normally, older dog will be at higher risk of suffering from dog arthritis. Younger dog will suffered from dog arthritis if they are injured during exercise or acting aggressively.


But there are dog arthritis medications available for arthritis dog. So please do not worry if your dogs are diagnosed with dog arthritis.Normally, there are few symptoms that indicate your dogs are suffering from dog arthritis. This first sign that most dog owner will realize dog arthritis when discovered a limp in his leg. Checking his paws and there is no injury. Normally limp will be the first and obvious sign of arthritis dog. Symptoms of dog arthritis will have gradual onset of lameness in one or more limb. (Limp that developed overnight is mainly because of injury)


Apart from that, the movement of your dog also becomes slower if they are suffering from dog arthritis. The healthy and playful pup move at slower movement and has difficulty to jump or run around. They will avoid to climbing up or down the staircase when playing around with you.


All dogs love to go out for a walk. But now your dog is not interested to go out for a walk anymore. They refuse or reluctant to go out for a walk or they walk far behind you. No choice, you need to suspect your dog is suffering from dog arthritis.


Your dogs are yelping or crying because of the pain they are suffering. When you accidentally touch certain area, they scream or yield because your touches contribute pain to them. Dogs suffering from severe dog arthritis will be yelping and whimpers in pain day and night.


Difficulty to get up from the floor after sleeping or lying down. And need help in order to get up from resting position. (This is the most obvious sign of dog arthritis)


You will discover a big change in terms of behavior or personality. The normal playful and health dog will become timid, sad or frustrated, inactive and withdrawn and isolate from people. Some dogs will turn into violent or aggressive or yelping around. (They are acting opposite to their personality because they are suffering and acting violently just to relieve their pain)


They refuse to get near to you and refuse to be touch by anyone. As, they feel soreness when being touched.


Some dogs will have tense abdominal muscles. Their ears may lie flat against his head. Keep on licking the affected area. You will also realize there is a swollen joint.


Don’t worry if your dogs are suffering from dog arthritis. As there are medications and ways to reduce his pain and it will help.
