Has your veterinarian prescribed a NSAID or Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug for your Standard Poodle? If so, you may want to also ask about a holistic or natural alternative. NSAIDs are often prescribed for muscle soreness, stiffness, arthritis, swelling in the joints and even for pain after a surgical procedure. However, some pet owners are looking to all natural organic supplements and herbal remedies to reduce inflammation. Some holistic vets tend to look to dietary deficiencies and toxins present in the dog as a cause of inflammation and often prescribe a complete detox and diet change. Other vets suggest adding supplements such as Glucosamine, Chondroitin Sulfate, Omega Fatty Acids, Vitamin E, Selenium, and MSM to the diet to decrease inflammation. No matter the treatment path, arthritis is manageable not curable. Consult with your vet Virginia Beach VA before giving your canine any type of medication whether prescribed or holistic.
