Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic musculoskeletal disease and causes lameness in dogs. The therapeutic management of OA in dogs has tended to be dominated by the use of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), however NSAIDs can induce serious adverse effects; their prolonged use is not advocated in the elderly patient. Such side effects include gastrointestinal irritation, renal toxicity and interference with haemostasis. This article will outline additional measures that can be taken to preserve/aid joint health in ageing canines.
