Topic of the week.
Each week we are going to share some information about a topic, diseases or syndrome that might effect your pet.

This week I've chosen Elbow Dysplasia.

The word “dysplasia” means “abnormality of development”. The elbow is a complex joint because it involves the articulation of three bones.
Elbow dysplasia is a painful condition that causes one or both elbows to develop abnormally while a puppy is growing. There are three main areas inside the elbow joint that can be affected; some dogs have just one problem area, while others suffer with a combination.

Symptoms of elbow dysplasia -

Limping or stiffness (usually worse after exercise and difficult to spot if both elbows are affected)

Less enthusiasm to go for walks or play

Front paws pointing outwards and/or elbows held at a strange angle

Swollen, puffy elbows (in severe cases)

Most dogs start showing symptoms between 5 - 18 months old. However, dogs with mild elbow dysplasia may not show signs until later in life, once they have developed arthritis in their elbows.

Hydrotherapy is beneficial as it works the muscles without overload the elbow joint. This is a good way to keep dogs fit and to help with weight control.
Water-based therapy is a perfect environment for a dog with elbow dysplasia. The warm, supportive medium provides pain relief and allows mobilisation of joints in a buoyant / semi-buoyant environment, maintenance and strengthening of specific muscle groups and enhancement of general cardiovascular fitness which on land might not be so easy.

This Week’s Myth:
"Arthritis in dogs only affects older dogs and they just have to live with it."

FACT:
Arthritis isn't just a condition for senior dogs—dogs of any age can develop arthritis, especially those with injuries, certain breed predispositions, or excessive wear and tear on their joints.

The good news? With the right management plan, your dog can still lead a happy, active life! Early intervention with proper treatment can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance your dog's quality of life.

Don’t wait for the signs to become severe—if your dog seems slower, less playful, or reluctant to move, it’s time to act!

Let’s give your dog the comfort they deserve 💙🐾
