Is Your Pet Slowing Down? It Might Be Joint Pain 🐾
As pets age, joint discomfort can sneak up on them—impacting their mobility, energy, and overall quality of life. At SoCal Veterinary Hospital, we offer targeted treatment options to help your pet feel like themselves again. Let’s talk about two powerful injectables that can make a real difference:
💉 Adequan® Canine (for dogs)
Adequan is an FDA-approved injectable medication specifically designed to treat canine osteoarthritis. It works by penetrating cartilage, reducing inflammation, and actually helping repair and protect joint cartilage—not just masking the pain. It’s administered as a series of injections, usually starting twice a week for 4 weeks, and can significantly improve your dog’s comfort and mobility.
🐱 Solensia™ (for cats)
Solensia is the first and only FDA-approved injectable medication for feline osteoarthritis pain. Unlike traditional pain meds, Solensia is a monthly monoclonal antibody injection that targets nerve growth factor (NGF), a key player in arthritis pain. This means long-lasting pain relief—without daily pills or stress. It’s designed to help cats move more freely, jump, groom, and enjoy life again.
✨ Noticing stiffness, limping, or decreased activity? Whether it’s difficulty climbing stairs, reluctance to jump, or general slowing down, these may be signs of joint pain.
