If your OAP (old-age pet) is spending more time resting or sleeping, it could be a sign of osteoarthritis. Visit your vet to get a firm diagnosis and to rule out any underlying problems unrelated to OA. The good news is that lots can be done to relieve the pain and discomfort your pet may be experiencing. There are also many practical measures you can take at home to help give your pet the best quality of life 🐈🐈⬛🐕🐩🐇
While osteoarthritis is more common in senior pets, some younger animals can struggle too, especially those with previous injuries or joint conditions. It’s always worth checking in with your vet if something doesn’t seem quite right.
