What are MusculoSkeletal Diseases?

What makes our pets run, jump, and play? Their skeletal system, of course! Dogs have an average of 319 bones, while cats average about 250 (longer tailed pets sometimes have more bones), all surrounded by a network of muscles and ligaments and tendons. And just like humans, our pets can develop arthritis, suffer fractures and tears, and even have congenital bone growth conditions.
