Abstract

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common clinical problems for which pet owners seek veterinary consultation. Proper management of osteoarthritis is rewarding to the patient, client, and veterinarian alike. The foundation for treatment of osteoarthritis is weight control, exercise moderation, and administration of anti-inflammatory agents. This section of the text addresses clinically important mechanisms of osteoarthritis and the use of anti-inflammatory agents targeted to reduce pain and inflammation associated with the disease.
