Many national athletes begin to retire when they reach the age of 30. Due to long-term training, their physical functions have been damaged to a certain extent, so they must retire early. In fact, whether they are humans or pets, long-term training will cause chronic injuries. Sports injuries are the same for dogs, so where do dogs suffer from chronic sports injuries?

1. Chronic tendonitis

Repeated and excessive use of the dog's tendon causes continuous mild injuries to the dog's tendon, causing chronic inflammation of the dog's tendon, which is called chronic tendonitis in dogs.

2. Dog arthritis

There are many causes of arthritis in dogs. Arthritis caused by sports injuries in dogs refers to excessive load on the dog's joints or heavy loads without proper training, which causes the dog's joints to be injured and cause degenerative lesions. Symptoms include pain and tenderness, but not necessarily swelling. There is often a sound when the joint moves, and sometimes swelling, pain or weakness may occur.

3. Inflammation of synovial bursa

The synovial bursa plays an important role in cushioning near the joints. Once the dog's joints are overloaded or injured, it often causes inflammation of the dog's synovial bursa. Symptoms include swelling, tenderness, and joint mobility impairment. Sometimes the symptoms are similar to arthritis and are difficult to diagnose.
