Improving
Joint Function in Dogs
The
winter months are the time you are most likely to see joint stiffness and
discomfort in pets. Arthritis
is so common, that it affects one in five dogs over the age of seven.
Severity can range from uncomfortable to disablingly
painful, and the condition often progresses in severity with age.
Arthritis and joint pain in dogs typically affects the shoulders,
elbows, hips, neck, and back. Signs
that your dog may be suffering from stiff or painful joints include
favoring one leg over another, reduced range of motion in the elbow or
shoulder, difficulty in sitting or standing, reluctance to jump, and
decreased activity levels.
Large
Amounts of
Holiday
Food:
When
a pet consumes a large amount of fat to which the body is not accustomed,
an acute episode of pancreatitis can result.
Fat excess can result when humans serve pets a sizable portion of
turkey, roast beef, ham, etc. Pancreatitis
is a painful, life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas that forces
digestive enzymes into the body cavity.
Signs include severe vomiting, tense & painful abdomen,
tiredness, refusal to eat, refusal to drink.
