Arthritis pain in pets can quietly impact their quality of life long before you notice obvious signs. If your dog or cat is slowing down, hesitating to jump, or showing subtle behavior changes, osteoarthritis may be the cause.
At Maricamp Animal Hospital, we offer advanced joint injections using Arthramid® to help manage pain, improve mobility, and support long-term joint health in pets.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive joint condition that causes inflammation, stiffness, and pain. It’s especially common in aging pets but can also affect younger animals due to injury, genetics, or joint abnormalities. Many pets don’t show obvious signs right away, which means arthritis pain often goes untreated longer than it should.
If you’ve noticed any of these changes, it may be time to explore treatment options.
Osteoarthritis develops as joints wear down over time, leading to inflammation and discomfort. It’s one of the most common causes of arthritis pain in pets, especially as they age.
Arthramid® works within the joint to support the synovial lining, which plays a key role in reducing inflammation and improving joint function.
With proper evaluation and treatment, many pets experience improved mobility and reduced pain, allowing them to return to more normal activity levels.
Joint injections are a treatment used to help manage arthritis pain in pets by delivering medication directly into the affected joint. At Maricamp Animal Hospital, we use Arthramid® Vet, a hydrogel injection designed to reduce inflammation and improve joint function over time.
Arthramid® works by supporting the joint’s synovial lining, which plays a key role in joint health. In pets with osteoarthritis, inflammation in this area is a major source of pain.
By improving the joint environment, these injections can help reduce discomfort and improve mobility.
Joint injections may be recommended if your pet:
Our team will evaluate your pet and recommend the best treatment plan based on their condition.
Before treatment, we perform an orthopedic exam and may recommend X-rays to assess joint health.
Joint injections are typically performed under light sedation to keep your pet comfortable and ensure accurate placement. Multiple joints can be treated during the same visit if needed.
Osteoarthritis cannot be cured, but it can be effectively managed. Treatments like joint injections, along with weight management and supportive care, can significantly improve your pet’s quality of life.
