Dog Arthritis Resulting from Trauma
In some cases,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dog and cat arthritis is caused by the body actually attacking themselves. This arthritis is known as Auto Immune Arthritis. The most commonly heard name for this condition is rheumatoid arthritis. With this disease,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the dog’s immune system begins to attack the body and causes joint pain.
The breaking down of cartilage is also a cause of pet arthritis. The type of diseases that result from cartilage deterioration is Osteochondrosis and Osteoarthritis. Both of these are considered a very serious dog disease and can even be fatal. Osteoarthritis contributes to around 90% of all of the arthritic dog cases treated by a vet.
Pet arthritis can be a very serious condition if not treated and controlled. It is important for pet owners to recognize that not all types of this disease are caused by the aging process. While most canine lovers believe that only elderly pets develop arthritic joint pain,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], many younger dogs also suffer. The sooner that the disease is diagnosed and the cause is found, the more years can be added to the dog's well being and healthy life.
Infections are one cause that can lead to arthritis in dogs. The infection is in the joint. This type of arthritis is usually treated with pet medicine in the form of antibiotics. Hip Dysplasia and Shoulder Degeneration are both types of arthritis that can derive from infections.
Trauma is a leading factor that results in dog arthritis. Working dogs are especially susceptible to this type of joint pain. Hip Dysplasia and Shoulder Degeneration an also develop from trauma. Traumatic Arthritis is seen after an injury and commonly results in osteoarthritis. A dog suffering from Acute Traumatic Arthritis from an injury will need immediate medical care. In most cases, the arthritis sets up very soon after an injury has occurred.
Aging is typically the most common thought when it comes to causes of arthritis in both animals and in people. However, there are many more factors that can contribute to joint pain disease besides getting older. Therefore,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is very possible for younger dogs as well as older dogs to suffer from arthritis pain. In fact, over half of the dogs that are six years or older have some type of symptom that is associated with arthritis. This percentage increases as the dog ages.
