We’re excited to offer a new treatment providing long-term relief of canine elbow arthritis pain.  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 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).

Synovetin OA is a radiotherapeutic that is an injection of a radioactive form of tin. This is engulfed by inflammatory cells and inflamed joint lining causing cell death and a reduction to cessation of inflammation in the joint. Dogs who respond well to this treatment can see improvement for up to 12 months. There is a 92% success rate in mild to moderate elbow arthritis and 72% success rate in severe arthritis.
