Dog and Cat Arthritis EXPLAINED + Librela & Solensia
According to the video, it is about pain management in pets, particularly osteoarthritis in dogs and cats. Librela and Solensia are highly discussed.
The speaker, Steve Dale, discusses how pets, especially cats, are good at hiding their pain. He emphasizes that osteoarthritis is a common condition in older pets and can significantly impact their quality of life.
Traditionally, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been used to manage pain in pets. However, these drugs can also have side effects.
Recently, two new drugs, Librela and Solensia, have been introduced specifically for managing pain associated with osteoarthritis in dogs and cats, respectively. Steve Dale argues that these new drugs are a safer and more effective option for pain management in pets compared to NSAIDs.
He acknowledges that there can be side effects with any medication, but emphasizes that the benefits of Librela and Solensia outweigh the risks for most pets. The video also briefly touches on other pain management options for pets, such as acupuncture, massage therapy, hydrotherapy, and environmental changes.
