Degenerative Joint
Disease (DJD)

Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD), also known as osteoarthritis, is a common condition affecting pets, particularly as they age. DJD involves the progressive deterioration of cartilage within the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. Early detection and intervention are crucial in maintaining your pet’s quality of life and slowing the progression of the disease. Our experienced team at Westwood Regional Veterinary Hospital is dedicated to providing compassionate care and personalized treatment plans to help pets with DJD live comfortably and happily.
