Pet Arthritis Management in Northern Beach

What is Arthritis in Pets?

Arthritis in pets is a common condition that causes inflammation and pain in the joints, leading to stiffness, reduced mobility, and discomfort- especially in older animals. It most often affects the hips, knees, elbows, and spine. Over time, the cartilage that cushions the joints breaks down, resulting in bone-on-bone contact that can be very painful.

Arthritis is most common in senior pets, but it can develop from injury, obesity, or joint abnormalities.


Our Northern Beach Arthritis Management Services

Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage pain and improve your pet’s quality of life.

At Allambie Vet, we offer a range of arthritis services to help manage your pet’s joint health and comfort. These include thorough physical and lameness exams, diagnostic imaging (like X-rays) to assess joint changes and tailored treatment plans. We provide medical management with anti-inflammatory and additional pain relief medications as needed. Joint supplements and prescription diets can add further layers to pain relief. There are some injectable medications that can provide good relief, such as Pentosan polysulfate (Zydax). For more advanced cases, we offer options such as intermittent Ketamine infusions to help break the pain cycle, Beransa injections or local nerve blocks.
