Bones are hidden in the body and are often ignored by owners. As dogs age, they are prone to bone diseases due to improper exercise or unbalanced nutritional intake.

Hip dysplasia

Hip dysplasia is an orthopedic disease that occurs in puppies during their growth period. The main factors that cause hip dysplasia in dogs are genetics, obesity, excessive exercise, age-related degeneration, etc. After the disease, dogs suffer unbearable pain through physical Treatment can relieve pain, but complete cure requires surgery.

Early stage: Puppies do not like to exercise and become lazy. They will occasionally make bunny hops when walking around.

Mid-term: The disease gradually progresses and will involve other joints, resulting in pain, unstable gait, and swaying when walking.

Arthritis

If your dog's joints are swollen and react violently when touched, he may be suffering from arthritis. 20% of middle-aged dogs and 90% of elderly dogs will suffer from osteoarthritis in at least one joint. Once this disease occurs, it is difficult to cure and will continue to get worse.

After the dog wakes up, his activities are always stiff, and it takes more than an hour to return to normal

Lameness, stiffness of the limbs, edema of the arthritis capsule and surrounding tissues, swollen joint appearance, pain when touching, and difficulty in getting up or lying down

Cartilage

Problems such as osteochondrosis usually occur in dogs that grow quickly. This disease is an endochondral ossification disorder of articular cartilage and epiphyseal cartilage. During the examination, no external injuries were visible on the dog, but there were related characteristics such as lameness and pain. X-ray examination is required to confirm the diagnosis, so if the owner suspects that the dog has this problem, send it to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

The main symptom of osteochondritis dissecans is lameness, which will gradually worsen and lead to persistent lameness.

In chronic cases, a clicking sound can be heard when the hand moves the joints, and the muscles may atrophy.

Intervertebral disc abnormality

Intervertebral disc abnormalities in dogs refer to the fibrocartilaginous structure between the vertebrae. Due to trauma, obesity or aging, the intervertebral disc ruptures, causing the nucleus pulposus material inside to deform and protrude, compressing nearby nerves.

After the dog is sick, the pain is unbearable, the lower limbs are numb and painful, the muscles are atrophied, and it is difficult to walk. When the condition is severe, the dog completely loses its ability to urinate and defecate independently, and the lower limbs are paralyzed.

When cervical intervertebral disc prolapses, the head and neck may become inflexible, painful during movement, forelimb weakness or hemiplegia, or even respiratory paralysis.

When the thoracic intervertebral disc prolapses, the function of the forelimbs is not affected, but the hind limbs have difficulty moving or even paraplegia, and defecation and urine are affected;

Fracture

When a dog falls, twists while running or jumping, or is crushed by a heavy object, the external force it receives exceeds the endurance limit of the bone, and fractures may occur.

Bones play a role in supporting and protecting the body. Once damaged, the fractured end is likely to injure important internal organs of the body or cause damage to surrounding tissues, causing more serious harm.

Shock: Dogs go into shock when a fracture occurs along with soft tissue damage, massive bleeding, severe pain, or concurrent visceral damage.

Fever: There is a large amount of internal bleeding at the fracture site, or an increase in body temperature caused by wound infection.
