This will be ver interesting because at some point they will all slow down. We can learn the tools to making them more comfortable.
If your dog is limping, moving slower, or struggling to get up, you might think it's just arthritis. But what if the real problem is muscle-related—specifically tight fascia and trigger points that make your dog’s movements painful and restricted.
This week on the Inside Scoop, Dr. Laurie McCauley, a Board-Certified Veterinarian in Canine Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation, is joining us to discuss how fascia (the connective tissue around muscles and joints) can cause stiffness and discomfort, leading to restricted movement. She’ll explain how trigger points (muscle knots) can form from overuse or stress, contributing to joint pain and share ways you can help relieve your pet’s discomfort at home.
We'll be covering:
⚡️ How fascia and trigger points affect your dog’s mobility
⚡️ Why joint pain might be more than just arthritis
⚡️ Simple ways pet parents can improve movement with massage and exercise at home
⚡️ Supplements like Boswellia, Green Lipped Mussel, UC-II and more to support mobility, as an example: dogs suffering with mobility, pain🤕 & joint🦴 issues improved in as little as 4 weeks when given a combo of undenatured type II collagen (UCII®) and Boswellia Serrata🌱 shows randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, cross-over study.
or
A new peer-reviewed, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study shows dogs with osteoarthritis experience the same benefits in managing pain when given a combination of green lipped mussel & krill oil versus pain meds like Meloxicam.
