Treatment Options for Your Pet’s Arthritis

NSAIDs

Treatment for your pet will depend on the cause and severity of the arthritis. Various medical and surgical treatments are available today that can ease your dog’s discomfort and restore mobility. The type of treatment depends upon several factors, such as the age of your dog, the cause and severity of the arthritis and financial considerations.

The most common group of drugs recommended by veterinarians for the treatment of pet arthritis and hip dysplasia is NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Ideally, these should only be used for the short term, when necessary to encourage movement. Although your pet may respond quickly to an anti-inflammatory, this is usually because they are experiencing acute pain, and not because the condition itself is improving. In most cases these medications act simply as painkillers, and should only be used in addition to lifestyle modifications including weight control and good exercise management.

NSAIDs are a type of medication that helps reduce pain and swelling of the joints and decreases stiffness. When taken at a low dose, NSAIDs reduce pain; when taken at a higher dose, NSAIDs can also reduce inflammation. NSAIDs do not prevent joint damage and when used over the long-term, may accelerate joint breakdown. Taking more than one NSAID at a time increases the possibility of heartburn and severe side effects such as ulcers and bleeding.

Kazooticals Natural Joint Formula

The safest treatment option for dogs with chronic joint disorders is a natural joint supplement. In recent years, because more people are seeking alternative treatments for their beloved pets, the emphasis in veterinary medicine has evolved from the use of anti-inflammatory medications to treatments which stimulate cartilage production.

Signs That Your Dog May Have Arthritis

•    Favouring or licking a limb
•    Difficulty sitting or standing
•    Sleeping more
•    Appears to have stiff or sore joints
•    Hesitancy to jump, run or climb stairs
•    Weight gain
•    Decreased activity or less interest in play

If your dog has any of these symptoms, you may want to take him to your veterinarian for an arthritis evaluation. This may involve a physical exam and possibly X-rays. The best thing you can do for your dog is to get a diagnosis and start a treatment plan as soon as possible.

As passionate pet owners, our pets are more than simply our four legged companions, they are our family. Our pets give us unconditional love and devotion. They make us feel better when we are down, relieve our pain, and improve our outlook on life. Studies have shown that they lower our heart rate and blood pressure, and people with pets can live longer. Our pets do not live as long as we do, so while they are with us, we want them to live as long as possible, without pain and suffering. But as we know, that is not always possible, that is why the most important thing we can offer them in return is the best quality of life.

At Kazooticals, we love animals and consider pets to be part of our family, and therefore, our product has been developed with your pets’ well being in mind.

Easing the pain for one dog does not change the world, but it does change the world for that dog.

I can’t tell you how many dog owners I have talked to about their arthritic dogs who said “my dog suddenly collapsed one day and has arthritis.” Well unfortunately, scientific research and studies contradict this statement. A dog does not suddenly develop arthritis overnight. Then people say, “well my dog was not jumping up on the bed like he used to”, or “he didn’t want to go on walks or run around like he once did.” Well, one would ask, and that would be me, “these can all be signs of the onset of dog arthritis and only a thorough examination from a veterinary can determine if it is.” Then they tell me, “well I did not know that, and I just thought my dog was getting older and just was not able to do these things anymore.”

Our pets cannot verbally tell us when they are hurting but there are signs, or changes in behaviour or attitude, so it’s important to watch for the non-verbal cues closely and take even subtle changes seriously. I always tell people the best judge of your dog’s condition is you, the pet owner.
