Dog health conditions

Synovial sarcoma in dogs is a soft tissue cancer of the joints. This is one of the most common types of cancer that affects the joints and has a variable prognosis with treatment.

Joint infections, or septic arthritis, occur when bacteria or fungi are introduced into the nutrient-rich joint fluid, resulting in an infection. In dogs, joint infections typically develop after a wound occurs over or near a joint, but can also occur due to widespread bacterial infection in the body or after joint injections.
