Dogs are congenitally dysplasia or suddenly over-exercise, and they are prone to limping at the hind limbs, and suddenly they do not dare to step on the ground or jump triple feet, and then return to normal after a little exercise.
How to know if a dog has arthritis?
By observing the dog's symptoms: lameness, stiff limbs, edema of the arthritis sac and surrounding tissues, swollen joints, pain when touched, and difficulty lying up.
These symptoms are more obvious as the amount of exercise increases and the time goes by, and these dogs with arthritis are reluctant to do some vigorous exercise. If such symptoms are detected early, it is very important to treat the dog in time.

2. Check the dog's body and there are at least 2 joints swelling.
3. The claw joints become fat and swollen.
4. All swollen areas have a certain symmetry.
