Understanding Alternative Therapies
October is here & so are the cooler months. You might notice your joints get a little achier and pain sets in a bit quicker as the cooler months roll in. We are here to remind you that the same is true for your furry companions, and we would like to tell you about some alternative therapies and shout out some of our local business that can help ease your pet's pain.
Understanding Pain in Pets
Our pets can be very good at hiding pain, which makes it harder for us to spot the early signs of injury, joint degeneration and arthritis.
Some early signs of pain:
*Slower movements or hesitating to jump
*Excessive licking of joints
*Limping or stiffness
Necessary & useful supplemental support
1. Omega Fatty acids: Fish oils reduce inflammation and support cartilage health
2.Glucosamine & Chondroitin: These help to cushion joints & slow cartilage breakdown
3.C*D: C*D can ease discomfort and help with stiffness
Gentle At-Home Therapies
*Warm compresses or light heating pad on stiff joints
*Suportive/Orthopedic bedding
*Non-Slip flooring or Area Rugs
*Slow & controlled walks for mobility
*Elevated food bowls to prevent neck strain
Safe Arthritis Management for Elderly Pets
1. Veterinary prescribed NSAID's (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) *NEVER give human medication
2.Cold Laser Therapy reduces inflammation and can speed tissue healing
3. Acupuncture can relieve chronic pain, stimulate nerves and improve flexibility.
4. PEMF Therapy can support cellular function, circulation, and recovery.
Important & Helpful tips
*Keep the pet on the thinner side, as the weight can cause joint pressure to increase
*Use ramps, carts & supportive harnesses whenever necessary of helpful
