in pets is generally synonymous with osteoarthritis.
Symptoms include a destruction of parts of the joint,
generally isolated to the cartilage. Pets with this
condition may also experience intermittent inflammation.
This condition is one of the most common types of
arthritis in pets. If you have a dog that is losing its
mobility or a dog that if suffering from joint pain,
introducing NuJoint supplement can be of great benefit.
Here are several common types of arthritis in dogs:
Hip Dysplasia in pets is a type of osteoarthritis that
affects the hip joints of your pet. This can sometimes
result after an acture injury, but can also occur due to
normal wear and tear or infectious agents. This disease
causes a number of complications. A common misconception
is that hip dysplasia is always an isolated condition.
This is not true, it is quite possible for hip dysplasia
to spread to other joints as the disease progresses.
Hypertrophic Arthritis in pets has to do with the
development of bone spurs. The best analogy to describe a
bone spur would be walking on a tack all of the time,
because the joint is not smoothly moving along but instead
is being poked by growths that are very painful in both
humans and animals. This generally occurs as a result of
trauma or osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis in pets is a slowly progressing disease
that occurs due to the breakdown and destruction of your
pet's cartilage. As it gets worse, the bones (now with far
less cartilage to provide shock absorption) begin to grind
against one another causing pain, reduced flexibility,
inflammation, and a reduction in mobility. This is one of
the most common types of arthritis in pets and the type
that glucosamine is most suited for.
Osteochondrosis in pets is when the cartilage deteriorates
and causes an osteoarthritic like condition. Joint tissue
becomes both painful and inflamed. It is speculated that
there is a genetic component to this disease but it
nutrition may also be a contributing factor.
Shoulder Degeneration in pets is a disease that has
multiple causes. Because the shoulder is more of a sliding
joint rather than a ball and socket, it is less prone to
injury but it may still wear down over time. Infection or
injury to the joint may be contributing factors. This type
of arthritis generally affects the gait of the animal and
slows them down. Rheumatoid Arthritis
in pets is similar to rheumatoid arthritis in humans. This
type of arthritis results when the body attacks itself or
an infectious agent and becomes confused and attacks one
or more joints in your pet's body. The cause of this type
of arthritis is generally unknown.
Traumatic Arthritis in pets is a catch all term for
arthritis that has manifested as a result of trauma to the
joints. This kind of arthritis is generally acute and is a
direct result of some form of trauma. Osteoarthritis in
the effected joints commonly develops over time as a
result of this condition. No matter
what type of arthritis your dog may be suffering from
NuJoint

life! |
