Is your pet silently suffering? Learn to recognize hidden pain in dogs and cats with holistic vet Dr. Randy and expert Dr. Marie Bartling. We reveal why up to 80% of pet behavior changes are due to undiagnosed orthopedic pain. Discover video techniques to spot subtle lameness at home, plus evidence-based supplements that work: Adequan, omega-3s, UC2 collagen, and turmeric for chronic pain management.
This integrative episode explores regenerative medicine options—PRP therapy, shockwave treatment, and joint injections—that reduce chronic pain medication needs in 85-90% of patients. We discuss anti-inflammatory nutrition, gut biome optimization, and physical rehabilitation, including underwater treadmill, laser treatment, and PEMF therapy for arthritis and mobility issues in dogs and cats.
