Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Breakthrough Treatments For Arthritis In Cats

What I love about living in today's world is that
there are so many advancements going on. If you
have ever had a cat that was diagnosed with
arthritis or you think your cat is displaying
signs of arthritis, then the good news is that
you have a greater variety of options when it
comes to treatment for arthritis in cats. It
seems that modern medicine has found that it can
work in harmony and with success when it comes to
combining with the natural remedies and more
traditional medicines. There have been some major
breakthroughs when it comes to treatment for
arthritis in cats.

For many years now, NSAIDS (non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs) have been used to curb
the inflammation and pain that arthritis brings.
It has had limited success due to the harsh side
effects that it causes, especially to cats.
However, many veterinarians believe that they can
effectively combine the traditional NSAIDS with
more herbal or natural remedies to combine and be
an effective defense against the onset of feline
arthritis. The NSAIDS would be used in far lesser
quantities and therefore tolerance should be more
acceptable.

The combination of the NSAIDS would be with a
group of known safe natural drugs that have been
called DMOAAs (Disease Modifying Osteoarthritic
Agents). There have already been studies that
suggest that these drugs have been successful in
the treatment and can be a good preventative
measure in the onset of arthritis. The most
encouraging aspect of these tests is that they
have not shown to have incurred any side effects
and indeed will require the animal take a lower
dosage of the NSAIDS. It is believed that they
are just as successful as the use of NSAIDS on
their own.

This is great news for the felines of the world.
With a delicate metabolism and a propensity to be
sensitive to medication, any drug that delivers
zero side effects would be most welcomed. These
drugs have also been found to aid in other
ailments such as itchy flaky skin (pruritis) and
also have some anti-cancer effects as well as
being able to prevent an Alzheimer-like condition.

In addition to those breakthroughs, the DMOAAs
have proven to be a very effective treatment for
arthritis in cats. They can remove free radicals,
which are responsible for joint damage, as well
as rebuild cartilage and halt the breakdown of
the surface of the joint. Clearly, this is a very
exciting time in medicine and when it comes to
finding a successful and effective treatment for
arthritis in cats, then the combination of
traditional and modern medicine is a welcomed
partnership for many.

Obviously, preventative measures to ensure that
your cat gets the best chance at health and life
without the risk of arthritis is of optimum
importance. While you cannot prevent many types
of arthritis, you can certainly treat your cat
before the symptoms show. This would therefore
enable your pet to live comfortably for as long
as possible without the prospect of pain and
until there is the next medical breakthrough.
