Immune-Mediated Polyarthritis · immunbedingte Polyarthritis · sterile Polyarthritis · Mehrfachgelenksentzuendung · immunvermittelte Polyarthritis
Polyarthritis is an immune-mediated disease affecting the musculoskeletal system, specifically the joints. In this condition, the dog's immune system mistakenly attacks the synovial membranes, which are the protective linings that cushion and lubricate the joints. This abnormal immune response leads to widespread, painful inflammation in multiple joints throughout the body.
Owners typically notice a stiff or limping gait, swollen and warm joints, fever, and a general reluctance to move or play. These symptoms most commonly first appear in young to middle-aged adult dogs.
While the condition is treatable, it typically requires long-term or lifelong immunosuppressive medication and regular veterinary monitoring. The total cost for diagnostic testing and ongoing management generally ranges from €1,500 to €6,000.
