Animal Health topic: Osteoarthritis in Cats

Older and obese cats are most commonly affected by osteoarthritis (OA). This chronic joint disease is characterized by inflammation and the subsequent breakdown of the primary components of the joint and surrounding bone, ultimately leading to pain and stiffness. A multimodal approach is recommended to treat OA, and surgery may be helpful in some instances.

Animal Health Topic: Liver Tumors

The most common type of primary liver tumor, hepatocellular carcinoma, originates from liver cells and has a low rate of spread to other organs. Metastatic liver tumors are those that have spread from another organ of the body to the liver. Animal owners receiving this diagnosis should not despair, as most of these tumors can be surgically removed.
