How do I know if my dog is suffering from arthritis?
assistant
Arthritis in dogs can cause joint pain and stiffness, difficulty walking, limping or lameness, reduced mobility, and changes in behavior such as decreased appetite, loss of sleep, and depression. It can also lead to other health problems like heart disease, kidney failure, and diabetes. If your dog is showing any of these symptoms, it may be a good idea to consult with a veterinarian to determine if he has arthritis.
