409: Canine Osteoarthritis: Early Signs, Late Care: Closing the OA Gap in Dogs

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of early recognition and management of canine osteoarthritis in dogs.

This episode is sponsored by Zoetis. Canine osteoarthritis is far more common, and far more underdiagnosed, than most veterinary professionals realize. In a recent episode of the Vet Blast Podcast presented by dvm360 , Adam Christman, DVM, MBA, sat down with Mikayla Mayland, DVM, DACVS, to discuss the latest thinking on osteoarthritis in dogs and why early recognition matters more than ever. Throughout the episode, the duo challenges everything veterinary professionals thought they knew about canine osteoarthritis, from which dogs are actually at risk to what the real first step of OA management is.
