Solensia is the first and only FDA-Approved treatment to control osteoarthritis pain in cats. Did you know that 60% of cats over 6 years old are affected by osteoarthritis? By 12 years of age this number rises to 90% of cats. Solensia is a monthly injection that reduces pain in cats. It is a monoclonal antibody that targets NGF, a key driver in OA pain progression. We have been successfully helping cats with OA for many months now. If you think your cat might benefit from Solensia, please call us to schedule an evaluation.

Galliprant is a new medication that treats pain and inflammation due to osteoarthritis in dogs.

What this means for dogs is more years of comfortable running, jumping, and playing.  It means getting up and taking more frequent and longer walks with their families.  Dogs who have their pain treated are more likely to exercise more, maintain muscle strength, and remain at a healthy weight.

The science behind Galliprant is interesting.  Galliprant is a first-in-class piprant; a non-COX-inhibiting prostaglandin receptor antagonist (PRA).  It specifically blocks the EP4 receptor, the primary mediator of osteoarthritis pain and inflammation.  Galliprant is more targeted than traditional NSAIDS, with fewer side effects and a very good safety profile.

Brought to us by Elanco, Galliprant allows for early, safe, and effective treatment of arthritis in dogs.  Please call for an appointment if you think your dog could benefit.

Laser Therapy is an advanced option for treating pain.  We use a Companion Therapy Laser, by LiteCure.  Laser Therapy is an FDA-cleared modality that reduces inflammation and that results in pain reduction. Laser Therapy is effective in treating acute pain, chronic conditions, and post-operative pain.

Laser therapy treatment is safe, painless and fast. Treatments to deeper tissues are administered in 5 to 10 minutes. Typically, even chronic patients exhibit improvement after 3 to 5 treatment sessions. Laser therapy utilizes the body’s own healing powers by stimulating cellular activity. Despite short treatment times, laser therapy treatments initiate a healing process that continues to actively reduce inflammation for up to 24 hours after treatment.
