In case you missed it this past week, Good Morning America had a feature on the use of lasers to treat arthritis in pets. We have been using laser therapy in both offices for several months now and we are also seeing good results This is a good, non-invasive treatment modality to help treat several inflammatory conditions.
Several studies have shown that the majority of our older cat population suffers from arthritis. Cats rarely sow outward signs of pain. Older cats simply stop utilizing their vertical world because it hurts to jump or climb up or down. They stop getting up on the bed or couch to socialize with their humans. They may have difficulty negotiating stairs. They may not be able to get to their litter box area. If you have noticed any of these signs, then your cat may benefit from laser therapy.
