Dog arthritis is a debilitating disease that affects your dog’s ability to move. The disease attacks the cartilage in the joints, and when there is damage to the cartilage tissue it becomes difficult and painful for the dog to walk. In the advanced stages of the disease, “bone to bone” contact occurs.

Unfortunately over the next 3 days Roo’s condition did not improve. She became more lethargic and Roo was no longer eating.
