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).
