Our Gem, a 10-year-old Shepard, started doing the same thing. I just ordered a red light that is said to help and is also good for humans as well. Also, the first thing we did was the Vet for meds, and a weight issue. O, we use a moist wash cloth with a heating pad on low / mid heat for 15-20 minutes 2 / 3 time a day.

Children can get arthritis and it leaves them, I don't know the ins and outs of it, but I thought I would share , All the Best to You and your Pup ❤

I’ve been dealing with knee issues, surgeries, botched surgeries and i have a few takeaways I wish I learned earlier. Things that I think would help your pup..acupuncture/chiropractor, hyperbaric( I saw instant results but recommended 15-20 sessions) unfortunately I did not remove the implant that caused issues so damage was not permanently fixed. Because of limited access to a chamber I’m now looking into tb500 and bpc 157 peptides. Supplements to look at msm, collagen and curcumin. Hope this help

yes, omega 3 fatty acids from a marine source are an important supplement for arthritic dogs and sardines are also a more sustainable source than others

NSAIDs are not safe to use long term. That’s why people don’t like it. Also please look into the side effects of Librella. I considered librella but when I saw the side effects that sooo many dogs have experienced, and also looked into what the drug actually does to not just the pet’s affected joints, but their whole body - I opted not to start librella. For now, I have him on natural supplements for his joints and for pain relief and pair it with cbd on days where he has a flare up. Our next step will be looking into adequan and alternative therapies like acupuncture and physical therapy.

I bet you could add a few other common mistakes to the list too Dr. Dan!

Cold is for sudden injury, heat for longer term so unless it is a sudden serious flair-up then heat is best

I wouldn't recommend prednisone for arthritis. First line pain killers are most commonly a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (this is a drug class with lots of different options) or librela is a new option. The best option will depend on patient history etc

@@OurPetsHealth Thank you

your be is definitely right about some people's attitude to their pets David. great to hear Arnold ha lost his target weight 🎉

What painkillers? My vet only offered prednisone. Looking for alternatives....

The heated pad mentioned in the transcript is the "heated braces by PT Tech."

The transcript doesn't specify a particular painkiller by name. However, it emphasizes the importance of using painkillers appropriately and under veterinary supervision. It suggests that when used correctly, painkillers can be safe and effective in managing the pain associated with arthritis in dogs.

A good painkiller for dog arthritis often prescribed by veterinarians is Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). These drugs can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain associated with arthritis. Common NSAIDs for dogs include: 1. Carprofen (Rimadyl) 2. Meloxicam (Metacam) 3. Deracoxib (Deramaxx) 4. Firocoxib (Previcox) 5. Etodolac (Etogesic) However, it's essential to note that any medication should be prescribed and administered under the guidance of a veterinarian, as they can assess the specific needs and health condition of the dog and determine the most suitable treatment plan, including medication type, dosage, and duration. Additionally, regular monitoring is crucial to ensure the medication's effectiveness and to watch for any potential side effects.

Can Petie tec deliver to India?

Because this video is not about why arthritis happens...but for one, obesity is a huge factor. Medication used appropriately is the opposite of damaging, again discussed at length in different videos. And yes, you can make generalizations of things that are incredibly common, for interpretation by the viewer in light of their situation. Of course not everything is going to apply to one individual and if none of them apply then great. I would never suggest people don't care about their pets, but that also doesn't make them experts about their medical care

@@OurPetsHealth Sadly going on the premise that going to veterinary school makes one an “expert”, is so ignorant. Dive into some of dr. Karen Becker, perhaps she may be able to shed some awesome light on the “ expertise” you mentioned ; I much value veterinary doctors like her , than those who think most pet owners are clueless about the wellness of their beloved souls. Being open to always learn, is such a beautiful ego killer!

Yes, being trained for 5 years and then working day in day out in the field with ongoing training does tend to make you an expert. I never said pet owners were clueless, straw man argument, just not experts. As for Dr. Becker, some of what she says is spot on, some really not as 99% of my colleagues would attest but if it works for you then wonderful.

Does she have a unicorn diploma of magic and rainbows? He is a vet, if you don't like his advice or videos scroll on by and stop shilling for another VET@@georgydivinelight8333

Wind your neck in - some of us want helpful advice. I’m perfectly well able to search for causes elsewhere but suggestions on how to make the next years of my 5 month old pups life better after the shock of his recent diagnosis are essential for people like me. Call me a dummy if you want but I’ve lots of experience with arthritis in older dogs but absolutely none with pups and will grab onto anything I can get.
