Pain management- Medication

There are a wide range of medications available for managing arthritis and associated conditions. Arthritis is a complex disease process and impacts individual pets very differently.

It is very important to speak to your vet who can plan and prescribe the right medications and schedule for your pet.

🐕 September is pain awareness month 🐈‍⬛

It is estimated that osteoarthritis affects 80% of dogs over the age of 8 years old and 60% of cats over 10 years old.

Throughout September we will be discussing how to put in place treatments and home adaptations to help alleviate these symptoms.

If you are seeing any of these signs or symptoms book a visit with one of our vets to get them checked out.
