WHY DO THEY LIMP?

 

Does you cat or dog limp?

Like you or I there can be many reasons why, so let’s just look at one for now:

Especially with our nights becoming cooler, some older (or even younger animals) may be arthritic, so just like your favorite Nan make them more comfortable with these simple steps:

· Ensure their bedding is dry and off the ground.

· Move them away from draughts inside and weathered areas outside

· If bathing, avoid doing it late at night or on bitterly cold days

· Extra pounds on arthritic joints = pain, avoid those extra snacks

· Natural omega 3 supplements are available

· Remember if the limp persists please consult your Veterinarian
