Musculoskeletal
Musculoskeletal conditions in dogs and cats can affect their bones, joints, muscles, and connective tissues, leading to pain, mobility issues, and reduced quality of life:
– Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease causing cartilage breakdown, pain, and stiffness is common in older pets and breeds predisposed to joint issues
– Hip Dysplasia: A genetic condition where the hip joint does not fit properly, leads to arthritis over time
– Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) Injury: Similar to ACL injuries in humans, this ligament tear causes lameness and joint instability
– Luxating Patella: The kneecap dislocates from its normal position, often seen in small dog breeds
– Fractures and Trauma: Broken bones due to accidents or falls, requires surgical or orthopedic intervention
– Myopathies: Muscle diseases affecting strength and movement, including inflammatory and genetic disorders.
