Abstract:
Osteoarthritis is a common cause of chronic pain in small animals. Although there is currently no known cure, the disease can often be palliated by a combination of weight control, regulated exercise, anti-inflammatory medications, and disease-modifying osteoarthritic agents. The diagnosis, recommended treatments, and many of the newer drugs and disease-modifying agents are discussed in this article.
