Have you heard about Librela for dogs and Solensia for cats? These monoclonal antibody injections for treating osteoarthritis pain are a game changer! Just one injection a month can provide profound relief from OA pain. Unlike many NSAIDs, Librela and Solensia are metabolized with minimal involvement of the kidneys or liver—which makes them an excellent choice for pets who aren’t good candidates for NSAIDs due to reduced organ function.

Want to find out more about how to put some pep back in your pet’s paws? Call us today at 214-826-4800.

Does your pet struggle with osteoarthritis (OA) pain? They are not alone. Some studies show 75% of adult, medium to large size dogs suffer from OA. The pathophysiology of OA is complex. It is unreasonable to expect a single treatment option to be successful. At Lakewood Veterinary Center we take the multi-modal approach to arthritis care. We can tailor a treatment plan for your pet to fit their individual needs. From disease modifying drugs like Adequan to supplements to nonsteroidal medications and even cutting edge treatments like Librela for dogs and Solensia for cats are available.

These innovative monoclonal antibody injections are changing the way we treat OA pain. With just one injection a month, your pet can experience profound relief, improving their comfort and mobility.

What makes Librela and Solensia stand out?
• Kidney and Liver-Friendly: These treatments are metabolized with minimal involvement of the kidneys or liver, making them ideal for pets who can’t tolerate traditional NSAIDs due to organ function concerns.
• Convenience: Monthly dosing means fewer medications to manage at home and a better quality of life for your furry friend.

Take the first step toward giving your pet the relief they deserve!

Dr. Wright had the honor of showing his daughter’s Brownie troop around the clinic as they learned about pet care and safety. The smile on his girl’s face says it all! Great job brownies! 🤎😻🤎
