A puppy’s osteochondrosis cannot be cured; only active treatment and care can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. It brings joint stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility, and some dogs show movement disorder, limping, and unsteady walking.
Use anti-inflammatory or other drugs to ease pain and other signs, promote joint repair, and protect cartilage; surgery may be needed in some cases.
