The treatment of dog arthritis mainly includes drug treatment, traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy and surgical treatment. If the dog is not very serious, drug treatment and traditional Chinese medicine physical therapy can be carried out, and the dog can be taken directly to a regular pet hospital for examination and medicine. If your dog's arthritis is severe, you may need surgery to remove the diseased limb or a prosthetic limb. However, surgery is risky, and dogs may become depressed if they undergo surgical amputation. Therefore, if it is not serious, drug treatment and traditional Chinese medicine physical therapy are still recommended.

1.Drug treatment

If your dog's arthritis pain is unbearable, you can first take it to a pet hospital for analgesic injections, followed by oral anti-inflammatory drugs or injections of anti-inflammatory injections. Secondly, you can also purchase health care drugs such as Joint Treasure, Glucosamine, Chondroitin Sulfate, and trace elements to assist in the treatment of arthritis.

You should also pay attention to controlling your dog's diet, because obese dogs are also prone to arthritis. At the same time, you can also supplement calcium and other substances appropriately, and let the dog exercise appropriately for a while every day.

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine Physiotherapy

In addition to drug treatment, owners can also choose traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy to give their dogs acupuncture and massage to reduce the pain and stiffness caused by arthritis in their dogs. They can also give their dogs some drugs and health products that help with joint repair. Moreover, acupuncture and massage can release the natural painkillers in the dog's body, namely endorphins, and can also speed up the dog's blood circulation and relax muscles and ligaments that are tense due to pain.

Note: Joint problems are common in large dogs, and symptoms can generally be relieved by controlling weight, limiting activity, and using some analgesics. You can also give your dog some joint-protecting food to enhance nutrition.
