Ĭlinical signs of OA are lameness, stiffness, loss of joint function, and mobility. The OA should be considered a final common pathway of joint damage secondary to a multitude of inciting events, many of which may also be unrecognized. Īging alone is an unlikely cause of OA: in veterinary literature, it has been suggested that 20% of dogs above one year old are affected by the progressive changes of OA. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a slowly progressive disease characterized by articular cartilage degradation, subchondral bone sclerosis, periarticular proliferation of new bone, and chronic inflammation of synovial membrane.
