    most likely as it can in humans. a good rule of thumb or something to speed up arthritis = trauma ....such as certain living conditions (hard cold concrete floors maybe) or perhaps an injury. Or disuse / overuse of joints etc... hope this helps.


    also as far as i know some families seem to be prone to osteoarthritis. So i think it would be safe to assume it can be genetically linked.


    lastly ... if a person / animal lives long enough they will most likely eventually get some amount of arthritis, although it might be minor.
