There are four stages of arthritic disease: 1) Young animals predisposed to osteoarthritis due to conformation or injury 2) Pets with current joint disease but little damage to joints and no symptoms 3) Pets with moderate damage and intermittent symptoms, often with decreased range of motion in the affected joints 4) Severe damage and signs, such as atrophied muscles, restricted range of motion, difficulty rising, jumping onto furniture, going up stairs or performing other activities. Stage 1: If we know that arthritis is likely down the road, we would like to start preventing it early. Stage 2: Arthroscopy is becoming more common in dogs. Stage 3: At this stage symptoms are starting to become more apparent. Stage 4: Pain can be severe at this stage.
