What are the signs of canine arthritis?
It’s important to note that arthritis occurs before clinical signs are shown. The beginning stages of this disease are not easily recognized. If your dog is suffering from arthritis, you will most likely see one or more of the following signs: lagging behind on walks, reluctance to walking, running, climbing stairs, jumping or playing. Additional signs may include: sluggishness, tiredness, low activity, reluctance to extend rear legs, aggressive or withdrawn behavior or other personality/behavioral changes.
