🐈 Arthritis 🐕

Joint pain greatly affects your pet’s quality of life!
Arthritis leads to mobility impairment and difficulty performing various activities. Simple things such as climbing stairs, inclines on walks or jumping onto cat towers can become painful activities for pets affected by arthritic changes 😔

In addition to pain, other symptoms of arthritis are limping, loss of interest in playing or walking, difficulty rising, difficulty with stairs, snapping when being petted, a sudden change in personality and licking the affected joints.

Arthritis is a common problem in older animals, occurring as a result of ongoing wear and tear and instability in the joints. It can also start at an early age if there are problems with bone and joint development. Other factors affecting the progression of arthritis include injury, genetic makeup, infection, immune diseases and cancer.

Arthritis can affect any joint. There are many different treatments available, so no matter what has caused the arthritis in your pet, the pain and discomfort can be effectively controlled and managed.
Don't let your pet suffer in silence 💕

🐕 Osteoarthritis 🐈

As the weather gets cooler and we're coming into winter, keep an eye out for your pets getting slower and stiffer- a big culprit is osteoarthritis!

Osteoarthritis affects more than 90% of cats over 12 years old and 80% of dogs over 8 years of age!
Arthritis can present in many different ways!

Some signs of arthritis include;
- Limping can be sign of arthritis, however usually only happens with severe arthritis
- Dogs struggling to jump. This is often noted when they are reluctant to jump into the car or on a bed
- Cats not grooming themselves as much anymore can be caused by arthritic issues
- Is your pet slower to get up from laying down?
- Are they hesitating to sit down?
- Pets may lick at their joints more often
- Loss of interest in playing or walking
- Do they have difficulty with stairs?
- Are they snapping or reacting when being petted?
- Has there been a sudden change in personality?

🦎 Meet Saski and Karl! 🦎

Saski and Karl are leather back Bearded dragons!

Aren't they stunning! 😍

These two came in for a health check with Dr Chris recently!

Some facts about Bearded dragons;

- Leatherback bearded dragons are characterized by significantly reduced scales on their backs and tails!
This means they have a smooth, leather-like texture and more vivid coloration compared to normal bearded dragons!
- Bearded dragons can live 10 to 15 years!
- They should have a basking area in their tank which is set between 36 - 38 degrees in this area. Failure to have appropriate heating can lead to major health issues for bearded dragons
- Leatherbacks can grow to a similar length to bearded dragons which is around 18 - 22 inches
- Bearded dragons when they have had regular handling make great pets and are generally pretty docile
- They are omnivores that eat a diet of live insects for protein and fresh greens, vegetables, and fruit
- Juveniles need more insects (80%) for growth, while adults require a diet of 80% plants

Did you know BAH vet Dr Chris has done further studies in reptiles?
If your reptile needs a check up, call the friendly BAH team on 03 5443 3322 to make an appointment 🙂
