Canine and Feline Osteoarthritis
One of the more common things we see as our pets age is what many simply call “slowing down.” But just because a pet is older doesn’t mean that osteoarthritis (OA) pain needs to be a fact of life. We have a deep tool kit when it comes to the treatment and management of OA symptoms. Learn more about OA pain in your pets and ways to keep them moving below!
Solensia & Librela: A New Approach to OA Pain Management
Solensia for cats and Librela for dogs are veterinarian-administered monoclonal antibody injections that can provide profound OA pain management with one monthly injection.
These groundbreaking medications are safe, effective, and work like your pet’s immune system. And unlike many NSAIDs, they’re metabolized with minimal involvement of the kidneys or liver—which makes them an excellent choice for pets with OA who aren’t good candidates for NSAIDs due to reduced organ function.
Laser Therapy
This painless, drug-free, non-invasive technology treats acute and chronic injuries, alleviates joint pain, and can be used for many types of OA pain. It works by stimulating cell regeneration, increasing blood flow to the targeted area, and releasing the body’s own pain-relieving endorphins and hormones. Shiloh Veterinary Hospital is pleased to offer our patients this safe and highly beneficial service on-site.
Canine Physical Therapy & Massage
Like us, dogs with OA issues can benefit greatly from physical therapy and massage. Our on-site canine physical therapy and massage services are tailored specifically to your pup’s needs and level of comfort.
