Any similarities to the symptoms and restrictions that we humans feel when afflicted by arthritis/osteoarthritis?
The pain and stiffness caused by arthritis in dogs are really no different than what we experience as humans. Just like in humans, the weight bearing joints are most symptomatic. Limping, difficulty rising, reluctance to go up and down stairs are classic signs of arthritis in dogs. More subtle signs are a change in personality or sleep patterns.
