presentation overview

Osteoarthritis (OA) is often initiated by developmental joint diseases such as hip and elbow dysplasia, making it arguable that OA is a condition that begins in young dogs. However, early signs are typically subtle and challenging to detect due to functional adaptations. Even when abnormalities are noticed, caregivers often consider them ‘cute’, or ‘funny’, or attribute them to trauma or over-exuberance rather than an underlying disease. In this discussion, we will explore how to identify these early, subtle signs of OA, as well as the importance of educating owners and effectively communicating with them to enhance management of the young dog with OA.

dr. b. duncan x. lascelles

Dr. Lascelles is the Dr. J. McNeely and Lynne K. DuBose Distinguished Professor of Musculoskeletal Health, and Professor of Translational Pain Research. Since his PhD training at Bristol, UK, he has devoted his professional career to improving our ability to recognize and treat pain in animals.

His research program (Translational Research in Pain [TRiP]) develops methods to measure pain associated with spontaneous disease in animals and seeks to understand the underlying neurobiology. Leveraging these measurement techniques in proof of concept studies his work improves our understanding of how to control pain in companion animals, and facilitates analgesic development in human medicine and discovery of relevant pain signaling mechanisms. He has a particular interest in the measurement of movement in relation to pain, the effects of exercise and diet on pain, and in the role of neurotrophins and neurotrophic factors, and downstream signaling in pain states.

He is director of the Comparative Pain Research and Education Centre (CPREC). He has authored over 250 peer reviewed research papers and reviews, over 300 research abstracts, and ~ 30 book chapters.
