Adapted from an Elanco Press Release<\/em> \u2014 Canine osteoarthritis (OA) is primarily a developmental disease, but more than 50% of cases are not diagnosed until dogs are between 8 and 13 years of age. Early intervention has the greatest potential for providing the most effective management of canine OA<\/a>. Although owner assessment of their dog\u2019s discomfort is a subjective evaluation, their perception of their pet\u2019s pain is very important for case management. Elanco Animal Health<\/a>\u2019s COAST tool<\/a> is designed to help veterinary teams improve the diagnosis and monitoring of dogs with OA and guide disease management plans, but it can also be used to educate pet owners about OA.<\/p>\n

One of the key points to stress to clients: More than one in five dogs are diagnosed with osteoarthritis,1<\/sup> but unlike humans, they can\u2019t tell us when they\u2019re in pain<\/a>. Many dogs live with the disease getting progressively worse for years before it\u2019s detected.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

\u201cI always tell pet owners that osteoarthritis pain doesn\u2019t have to be a normal part of their dog getting older. If pet owners identify subtle changes in their dogs\u2019 behavior or movement, like a change in activity level or slowness to jump on or off of the couch, it\u2019s time to talk with a veterinarian,\u201d explains Dr. Duncan Lascelles<\/a>, Professor of Small Animal Surgery and Pain Management at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. \u201cWe must be our canine\u2019s caretaker and identify the signs early. Ultimately, early detection helps your veterinarian create a treatment plan that may prevent the long-term decline of your dog\u2019s quality of life from osteoarthritis \u2014 essentially, early detection allows us to improve the future life of these beloved companions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Educating Clients<\/h3>\n

Veterinary teams can help pet owners identify their dog\u2019s osteoarthritis pain. Tell your clients that breed, age, high activity level, obesity and previous joint injury have all been identified as risk factors for osteoarthritis. Additionally, pet owners should monitor for signs at home and talk to a veterinarian if they notice:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Changes in activity level<\/p>\n

\u2022 Stiffness, limping or favoring a leg<\/p>\n

\u2022 Difficulty standing, especially after sleeping<\/p>\n

\u2022 Reluctance to walk, jump or climb stairs<\/p>\n

\u2022 Whimpering in pain or protecting painful joints<\/p>\n

The COAST Tool<\/h3>\n

The Canine OsteoArthritis Staging Tool (COAST) combines pet owner and veterinary assessments to determine the stage and severity of OA in dogs. Pet owner input is critical, as they are in the best position to evaluate the impact of OA on the dog\u2019s quality of life at home. With COAST, pet owners and veterinarians can partner to decrease osteoarthritis pain from the earliest signs and give dogs with OA the best chance at managing this chronic, progressive disease. Over time, the tool can also help track scores to see if treatment efforts are successful.<\/p>\n
