Osteoarthritis Treatments
Osteoarthritis in dogs and cats is the progressive and permanent long-term deterioration of the cartilage that surrounds your animal’s joints.
While we are unable to reverse the changes that occur, there are many treatment options that we at Mt. Carmel Animal Hospital offer on-site to help alleviate your pet’s arthritis discomfort. From hydrotherapy to pain medications, we will customize a treatment plan for every pet’s individual needs.
Treatment options include:
- Librela injections for dogs or Solensia injections for cats
- Adequan injections
- Hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill)
- Anti-inflammatory cold laser therapy
- Canine rehabilitation/strengthening exercises
- Stem cell therapy
- Glucosamine supplementation
- Specialized diets
- Pain medications
- Medical acupuncture
