Musculoskeletal Health in Dogs
Joints, ligaments, discs, and spinal cord — mobility conditions that affect quality of life in senior dogs.
All conditions
- Arthritis & Joint Disease — Osteoarthritis is one of the most common — and most under-treated — conditions in older dogs.
- Hip & Elbow Dysplasia — Developmental joint conditions that lead to arthritis; common in large breeds.
- Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) Injury — The canine equivalent of an ACL tear — a common cause of sudden hindlimb lameness.
- Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) — Disc herniation causing pain, weakness, or paralysis — most common in dachshunds and other chondrodystrophic breeds.
- Degenerative Myelopathy — A progressive spinal cord disease similar to ALS in humans; painless but debilitating.
