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.
