Study Notes
Arthritis in Dogs and Cats: Key Facts and Considerations
- Osteoarthritis (OA) affects 20% of adult dogs, leading to impaired quality of life and associated costs.
- Genetics and aging are key factors in the etiology of OA, with ongoing studies in canine models to identify candidate genes.
- Body weight and obesity, exercise, and housing are environmental factors influencing OA development.
- The pathogenesis of OA involves cartilage loss, synovial inflammation, and osteophyte formation, leading to pain and mobility impairment.
- Common sites of OA in dogs and cats include the hip, elbow, stifle, and shoulder joints.
- Immune-mediated polyarthritis (IMPA) can be classified into non-erosive and erosive types, with various underlying causes such as systemic lupus erythematosus and breed-associated IMPA.
- Septic arthritis can occur due to direct inoculation or hematogenous spread, with Staphylococcus and Streptococcus spp. commonly involved in dogs, and Pasteurella multicida and Bacteroides spp. in cats.
- Hemarthrosis, the presence of blood in the joint, can result from trauma, systemic coagulopathies, or neoplastic conditions.
- Crystal-induced arthritis, such as pseudo-gout and gout, is extremely rare in dogs, with sodium urate crystal deposition reported in Dalmatians with hyperuricosuria.
- Diagnosis of arthritis involves clinical signs, diagnostic imaging (radiography, CT, MRI, ultrasound), and laboratory tests (hematology, serum biochemistry, urinalysis).
- Radiography is the most common imaging modality, but MRI is superior in quality and sensitivity, particularly for studying joint components and non-cartilaginous abnormalities.
- Laboratory tests, including serology for disease-specific markers and 4DX snap tests for Lyme disease, can aid in diagnosing arthritis and its underlying causes.
