Canine Arthritis Pain

Does your dog have trouble climbing stairs? Need help in and out of cars?

Dogs can get arthritis in their joints just like people.
We’re excited to offer a new treatment providing long-term relief of canine elbow arthritis pain.

This condition is referred to as canine osteoarthritis, or just OA. This condition is very common. In fact, roughly 25% of all adult dogs in the US have OA, or about 1 in 4.

If OA isn’t treated effectively, it can cause your dog extreme pain. Cartilage loss, malformation of the joint, previous trauma and/or surgery are causes for OA which results in inflammation in the joint and this inflammation causes constant pain. This pain can significantly affect your dog’s quality of life, resulting in:

Difficulty going up and down stairs
Struggling to get up after lying down
Trouble walking on slick floors
Problems hopping in and out of vehicles
Difficulty jumping on and off furniture
Behavioral changes (e.g., aggression, difficulty squatting to toilet)

Animal Hospital of Dauphin County can help address your dog’s pain and mobility issues through this new breakthrough treatment. Synovetin OA® can: reduce inflammation and pain, provide long-lasting relief, and improve your dog’s mobility.

Synovetin OA® (sin-OH-vuh-tin OA) is a new approach to treating elbow OA. This treatment requires just one minimally-invasive injection that lasts for up to one full year and has been proven effective in the treatment of dogs with elbow osteoarthritis (OA).

We looked everywhere for a vet to have a look at my very sick mouse and Dauphin County Animal Hospital was the only one who would see her on a Saturday. The front desk was fast and they were very friendly. We saw Dr. Balmer and she was amazing. I recommend this place 100% and will take all my mice/other pocket pets here if they need vet care in the future!

Wally and I had a great experience. As a first time cat owner, I had a lot of questions. They answered all my questions and made my little man feel comfortable at his first visit!Thanks!!
