What are the signs of arthritis in dogs?
Because of the inflammation associated with dog arthritis, most of the signs of this disease are related to the pain and reduced mobility of the affected joints, and the dog’s reluctance to cause more pain by moving. Though not all dogs with arthritis display all these signs, many do show signs of stiffness, limping and lethargy. Some dogs may also bark unexpectedly, demonstrate an aversion to being touched, or begin to hide.
