Arthritis is a condition resulting in painful joints. It is extremely common in older pets, especially the larger breeds of dogs. Any joint can be affected by arthritis. The most commonly affected joints include the hips, knees, shoulders, elbows, and vertebral column (back). It is estimated that arthritis affects one in five adult dogs. Arthritis may be a result of an injury or may develop for unknown reasons. Frequently it is progressive (worsens with time). It may develop slowly or quickly. Often it begins with occasional sore days, often associated with weather changes or strenuous exercise. Clinical signs in most pets are often worse when they first get up and start to move. Overweight pets are most susceptible. Many clinical signs may be a result of arthritis and the related pain it causes. Signs may include lack of appetite, reluctance to walk, climb stairs, or play, limping, lagging behind on walks, difficulty in rising from a resting position, personality changes, or even crying aloud when the pain is severe. Animals don’t moan or whimper until the pain becomes very severe. Other diseases must be ruled out before a diagnosis of osteoarthritis can be made. Potential rule-outs include disc disease, ligament tears, bone infections, and nerve damage. X-rays are often necessary to obtain the correct diagnosis. There is no need to let your pet suffer the intense pain that can be attributed to arthritis. Strategies for the treatment of arthritis may be either proactive or reactive. Proactive involves therapy, which increases the body’s ability to cope with the problem. Reactive treatment includes such things as drugs designed to minimize pain. It is important to work closely with your veterinarian to minimize the side effects of these drugs. Periodic comprehensive physical examinations and laboratory screening are necessary to monitor the body’s response to any long-term medication. Exercise Helps: Regular, moderate exercise is very important in keeping joints working properly. Over-exertion can make the condition worse. Swimming is a great exercise for arthritis pets. Prevent Obesity: The number one cause of malnutrition in pets is OBESITY. Overfeeding, either too much food or food too rich is the major culprit. Older pets may need no more than 50% of the calories of a young, growing pet. Our veterinary team can assess your dog's condition and develop an individual treatment plan to help manage arthritis and improve quality of life. Learn more about our internal medicine services.

A dog's skin is a good indicator of their overall health. As dogs age, they may develop lumps, bumps, and cysts, which can be normal. However, these can also be signs of an underlying problem. It's important to keep an eye on your dog skin and consult with a veterinarian if you notice any changes or abnormalities. How we diagnose lumps When it comes diagnosing lumps in dogs, a sample of cells may need to be taken. This can be done by performing a fine needle aspirate or surgically removing a small tissue sample. These procedures can help determine the nature of the lump and guide further treatment options. What is a Fine Needle Aspirate (FNA)?​ A fine needle aspirate is a biopsy procedure commonly used to investigate lumps and masses. During the procedure, a hollow needle is inserted into the mass for sampling of cells, which are then placed on a slide for examination under a microscope. A FNA is a minimally invasive and safe procedure that can provide valuable diagnostic information. Why is a FNA necessary? There are two major types of lumps and bumps on dogs: malignant (cancerous) and benign (not cancerous). However, you can’t tell the type or severity of a growth just by looking at it. A FNA allows your veterinarian to look at cells to determine if your pet has an inflammation, an infection, a cyst or a tumour. A FNA is the first step in determining if your pet may need further diagnostics or surgery to remove the lump. Not all tumours can be diagnosed on FNA alone but it guides your veterinarian on the next best steps to treat a lump or bump. What to do if you find a lump on your dog? It is advisable to seek veterinary attention for any growths observed on your dog to ensure optimal care. It is recommended that you take note of the lesion location, duration, any changes, and your dog's reaction to it. This information will aid your veterinarian in determining the most appropriate course of action for your pet.
