There are three main causes of arthritis: excessive exercise, overweight, and uneven feed nutrition.

For example, do not let the dogs be too crazy; control the dog's mouth, do not let them eat it; give the dogs more in the daily diet to eat more dogs to eat more Vegetables and fruits, more vitamins, etc. In addition, dogs are cold and moisture can induce rheumatoid arthritis, and the owner needs to do a good job of protection.
When a dog is trembling, joints, joint swelling, or no reason, the owner is best to take the dog to the pet hospital for examination as soon as possible. Once the dog is determined to suffer from arthritis, the owner should cooperate with the veterinarian to do a good job of treatment. There are three main methods for treating arthritis: drug treatment, surgical treatment, and auxiliary treatment.
Drug therapy is divided into western medicine and Chinese medicine therapy. The western medical method is directly injected into the dog's joint. Although this method is effective, as the number of injections increases, the cartilage of the dog's joint will also be damaged to a certain extent. Although Chinese medicine can cure the root cause, the treatment cycle is long, and many dogs cannot obediently listen to the master's words to complete the treatment. Surgical therapy is suitable for dogs with heavy diseases, but surgical therapy is spent more, and many dogs may not have a better life after the surgery is completed, so the owner should choose cautiously. It should be noted that elderly dogs are not suitable for treatment of arthritis through surgery. Auxiliary therapy refers to the purpose of using acupuncture and massage to achieve the purpose of calming and relaxation. For dogs that can no longer alleviate pain by treatment, veterinarians generally recommend euthanasia.
