There are many factors that predispose pets to developing osteoarthritis. Obesity and developmental orthopaedic diseases like hip and elbow dysplasia are common causes. Previous trauma to the joint from accidental injury or surgery can also play a role. Once the joint is damaged or placed under excessive strain, damage occurs to the chondrocytes, the cells that create the cartilage that cushions the joint. The damaged chondrocytes release substances that result in inflammation of the joint which begins a vicious cycle of deterioration. Over time the cartilage disappears resulting in reduced mobility and pain. Many veterinarians recommend the use of fish oil as an adjunctive treatment for inflammatory conditions including osteoarthritis.
Skin conditions are often related to allergies. Atopy is a genetically linked complex, and often results in itchy dermatitis among other signs. Strengthening the skin barrier can help barricade the body against allergens, and prevent itchy skin reactions from occurring. Omega oils help strengthen the skin barrier and are often recommended by veterinarians as an adjunctive therapy when treating sensitive skin conditions.
