Dog Arthritis Medication
Dog Arthritis Medication can be used to help control this condition, there are a few different types of products which can help. NSAID is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug which doubles up as a painkiller as well as an anti-inflammatory. This type of drug is used mainly to treat hip dysplasia and arthritis caused from hip dysplasia. The results from this method vary greatly between breeds and is not safe for all breeds, so veterinary advice is required.
An effective approach would be to give the body what it needs in order to repair the joint. Glucosamine is the raw material that is required by our body to repair joints. This can be very effective and will take around three to four weeks to start to show its effects, and up to six weeks to reach the full therapeutic effect. For this reason it is very important to give this medication a good trial period, we would say at least 5 weeks. It has also been suggested that glucosamine can have negative effects on cartilage cells.
There are other sorts of treatment such as class IV laser treatment, and these have proved very effective. The basis is that the laser is able to get within the joint and provide a deep treatment using infrared coherent light. This technique has had a marked success but is not considered dog arthritis medication
