It’s Arthritis Awareness Month! Arthritis is a blanket term for any type of inflammation in one or more joints. While there are many possible causes of arthritis, the type most commonly referred to is osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease (DJD).

Osteoarthritis is a common condition in dogs and cats, representing age-associated damage to cartilage and surrounding bone due to repetitive stress on the structures. Classic signs include lameness or limping, pain when moving joints or handling limbs, and difficulty standing up from lying down.

Just a reminder with Easter coming up this weekend and Mother’s Day rapidly approaching, Lily flowers are beautiful but VERY toxic to your cats.

Sometimes our cats like to taste flowers… what you may not know is that every part of the lily is toxic to cats (pollen, petals, leaves, stems, and even the water from the vase!).

Lily’s cause acute kidney failure in cats within 12-96 hours. Signs can develop within 2 hours of ingestion.

Some safer flowers are babies breath, carnations, daisies, hyacinth, iris, roses, orchids and snapdragons.
