Conventional Treatments for Pets with Arthritis

Corticosteroids and NSAIDS (Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs) are frequently prescribed to provide pain relief for arthritic animals. Although the animal may appear to move about more freely, sometimes additional damage may be occurring to the joints as the drugs work to mask the joint pain. Also, when used over a long period of time, various adverse side effects have been documented, including damage to the liver and gastrointestinal tract, suppression of the immune system, diabetes, osteoporosis and others diseases.

Before resorting to NSAIDS or corticosteroids, ask your veterinarian about the many natural other approaches to treating your companion animal that are effective and do not have adverse side effects.

In some cases, pharmaceutical drugs may be the best option, but they aren't designed to repair the cartilage, therefore be sure to add some nutritional support therapy to your pet's health plan.
