Treatment for arthritis in dogs:
1. Control weight to reduce joint wear and tear. Severely overweight dogs can put long-term pressure on the joints, which can lead to the formation of arthritis. It is best to reduce the amount of grains and starchy carbohydrates in your diet and increase the amount of protein.
2. Take glucosamine. All dogs with arthritis should be on some type of treatment with glucosamine, including oral supplements containing glucosamine (sulfate or HCL), chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, or a combination thereof, including In injectable form, Adequan or Cartrophen, these supplements are not just for treatment, they can also help protect joints.
3. Add fish oil. Fish oil provides omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation. Note that omega-3 fatty acids are brittle and break down quickly when exposed to light, heat, or air, so simply add foods fortified with omega-3 fatty acids. Fish oil depletes vitamin E in the body, so when supplementing with any fish oil, it should also be supplemented with vitamin E.
4. If the dog feels pain, you can take painkillers, and it is best to consult a doctor for the medicine.
5. Acupuncture and moxibustion treatment. At present, there are many successful cases of using acupuncture to treat arthritis, but the treatment is very expensive. If the economic conditions are met, you can try it.
6. Perform TPLO surgery for cruciate ligament injury, but you need to find a hospital with rich experience to complete it.
