DOG ARTHRITIS - VET ADVICE
Arthritis in dogs is a common complaint particularly in pets who are getting on in years. Our video features an 11 year old Labrador is suffering from severe dog arthritis. There's general advice from the vet - and you should always take your own dog to the vets if you're concerned about dog arthritis. But these are our recommended products on Amazon that might help alleviate your dog's arthritis symptoms:
In our video, vet Laura Smith outlines various options for dog arthritis treatment - including nutritional supplements and anti-inflamatory drugs available dogs. The veterinary advice given in this video is of a general nature only. If you are concerned about your own dog's health, always take them to your vet. Arthritis is said to affect one in five dogs in the UK.
Any older dog will have arthritis to some degree. Larger breed dogs such as Labradors, they’re quite prone to arthritis and we see that quite commonly and sometimes it can be quite debilitating for them.
In the waiting room is eleven year old Labrador Coral who’s suffered from arthritis in both her front legs for many years. Her owner Alan has become increasingly concerned.
Recently it’s seriously inhibited her life. She can go for a short walk but then it’s very difficult for her to get back to the car. If it’s just say a mile or half a mile, which for her is nothing.
Last week Alan brought Coral in for an x-ray to find out the severity of the problem and it wasn’t good news.
Her right elbow was the one that was the worst. But you can see there’s a big spike of bone here and a smaller one there. Some other areas of new bone round the back, and just general arthritic changes. All these bits of bone are abnormal. On a normal dog, these areas are quite smooth and that’s what allows the joint to function properly. If there’s any of this new bone forming on here, then every time she moves her elbow that’s
Coral has since been put on new medication and so far it seems to be working.
The painkillers we’ve had before, as I say, weren’t particularly successful. But the Metacam, which we’ve been given this time seems to have done a lot of good.
There isn’t a cure for arthritis but there are treatments out there to make your dog’s life more comfortable.
There are nutritional supplements that we can give, such as glucosamine that can help with the joints and help with the cartilage, so. But then there’s also anti-inflammatory drugs that they can go on that act as a painkiller so it makes them more comfortable, and you can see a real change in your dog. So over the years your dog may have developed arthritis and gradually slowed down and you’ve not really seen that there’s much of a change. But then as soon as they start the medication they’re back to how they were five years ago again.
