The most effective treatment for Arthritis in dogs

Posted January 2nd, 2010 by David Webb

The most
lovable pet on the earth is certainly a dog. We are so attached with our dogs
that we can even feel their pain and grievances. Arthritis is one of the most
common problems amongst pet dogs. Experts say its a ‘canine disease’. Normally
it hits large dog breeds and senior dogs. It can be easily recognized through
changes in physical activities of the dog, like trouble jumping on the bed or
walking up the stairs. Arthritis in dogs, as well as luxating patellas and hip
dysplasia prevents them from jumping and freely playing. Dog
arthritis
keeps them lag behind even during walking.

 

Thanks to
‘HappyTailsSpa’ that offers a whole range of products to solve almost every dog
related problems. If your dog is suffering from hip dysplasia or arthritis then
feel free to contact ‘HappyTailsSpa’ and you will get a wide range of treatment
options from dietary supplements to pain relief medications. But as a prudent
pet lover do not forget to be in touch with your veterinarian.

 

Anti-inflammatory
medicines for example, aspirin and carprofen can be effective and relieve
arthritis pain of your pet. But, such drugs have certain limitation and many
side effects.  These drugs can reduce
pain at the nerve endings but can not remodel the joint. There are few drugs
that are very effective in lessening swelling of joints viz. steroids
prednisone, and dexamethasone.

 

Apart from
proper medication; intensive veterinary care and proper intake of food also
matters in the complete arthritis recovering process of your pet. Experts take
special care of diet intake because dogs must maintain the correct weight
during arthritis problems. Excessive weight can worsen inflammation in joints.
Especially amongst large size dog breeds, more intensive care is required.

 

Thus, at
the regular interval, one should carefully check the health of pet. Move you
hand right from neck to tail along the spine. Feel unusual knots and consult
your veterinarian. Massage is not important only for human; but also for dogs,
and they will love you for it. Regular massage benefits the lower lumbar spinal
muscle of your dog. Just place your hands on both sides of spine and use deep
circular digital pressure. Every day five minutes of practice will provide
ultimate relaxation to your dog.

    Hi All
    Very interesting read!
    I could find nothing that helped my 13 year old Labrador who had arthritis.
    Tried all the vet recommended NSAID’s.
    Came across a New Zealand Deer Velvet product 6 months ago on the “net”.
