Arthritis and Joint-Pain Issues with Dogs & Cats!

There are many forms of painful Mobility issues
with pets, especially Dogs, including (but not
limited to): HIP DYSPLASIA, PANO, OCD, or HOD.
Additionally, Arthritis affects many, many pets
and particulately-large breed dogs. Joint pain
and/or arthritis is such a prevalent problem
among pets, that it is important to understand
what exactly is going on in your companions
body.

ARTHRITIS!

The most frequent 'diagnosis' where joint
discomfort is observed: There are many types of
Arthritis and associated causes of degenerative
joint disease in pets (and humans). Symptoms
include mobility problems such as difficulty in
rising, walking, running, climbing steps, or
even standing. These symptoms result from the
less obvious symptoms of pain, swelling, and
inflammation along with the actual destruction
of cartilage and joints quite often. Causative
factors can include improper lubrication in the
joints along with buildup of toxins and
free-radicals. In soft tissue injuries, torn
ligaments can destabilize the joint area which
can then cause dislocation of its natural
position and sometimes the need for surgery.

AUTOIMMUNE ARTHRITIS!

This form is also known as Rheumatoid Arthritis,
and comes about when the body attacks its own
immune system causing serious pain,
inflammation, joint swelling and deformity of
the joints.

INFECTIOUS ARTHRITIS!

Also known as Septic Arthritis/Septicemia is
often diagnosed as HOD or Hypertrophic
Osteodystrophy by mistake. Septic Arthritis is
an infection of the blood and a misdiagnosis can
be a life threatening situation for your pet. For
more information on HOD see - Help, My Puppy Has
HOD.

OSTEOARTHRITIS!

This form is probably the most common version of
arthritis in dogs, and can be referred to as
degenerative joint disease. It typically is the
result of aging, trauma to the joint, or
infection caused damage to the joints.
Osteoarthritis, in the form of elbow or hip
dysplasia, can have numerous causes; i.e.,
genetics, nutrition, injury and normal wear and
tear on the joints, which then cause
inflammation, reduced flexibility and less
mobility.

SIMPLE HELP FOR A COMMON PROBLEM!

Every pet, regardless of age must have a daily
source of living dietary enzymes in their diet
to help replenish the body's valuable and needed
nutritional resources. Many of the commercial
food brands available do not include the
necessary nutrients. If your companion is not
getting the proper nutrition, you can still
supplement their diet as there are all-natural
pet health supplements/products on the market
that help fulfill this dietary need while also
helping the body to cleanse toxins and free
radicals from soft tissue, along with supporting
the body's immune function as well.

The following are the most common Arthritis
Symptoms: limping, favoring a leg, difficulty in
rising, difficulty in climbing steps/stairs,
difficulty with jumping or getting in or out of
a vehicle, difficulty walking or running,
apparent lethargy (preference on resting).
whimpering or indication of pain.

Within the body, there is a series of
antioxidant enzymes, including SuperOxide
Dismutase (and its counterparts) that are highly
involved in the health of joints in dogs (or
people). But, after a certain youthful age, the
body no longer produces sufficient quantities of
these critical enzymes. This is where solid
nutritional supplementation products can make
such a dramatic difference in enabling the dogs'
body to help itself.
