Recognizing that osteoarthritis (OA) isn’t just a disease of “old dogs” is transforming how veterinary professionals care for their canine patients. Yet, in the fast pace of clinical practice, performing a full orthopedic exam on every patient isn’t always feasible. This episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast offers practical strategies to help you screen patients and identify those who would benefit most from a more thorough orthopedic evaluation. Learn how to communicate with clients on detecting early-onset OA, when to escalate to diagnostics, and how to tailor multimodal, long-term management strategies using a combination of NSAIDs, surgery and newer options—because every dog deserves to move comfortably at every stage of life.
