Wellness & Preventive Care

Dogs and cats can suffer from conditions like osteoarthritis just like humans. Platelet-rich plasma therapy has become a hot new treatment for humans with conditions such as arthritis, and it has been used to some extent in horses, too. So, it's only natural that vets have started looking at using the treatment on cats and dogs. The good news is that this treatment has many beneficial applications for ligament injuries and wound healing to get your pet back into tip-top shape. Cherry Knolls Veterinary Clinic offers this service and if you would like to know more, please contact us.

As PRP has made its way into the medical mainstream, it’s been used in humans and horses for a long time and now dogs and cats are also benefiting from this treatment. Studies are still being conducted to determine what the positive effects may be, but so far, no adverse effects have been reported. In PRP, the patient’s own blood is filtered and processed so that it contains concentrated platelets, and then the prepared plasma is re-injected into the patient at the site of the injury. Other than the blood draw and injection – which are never fun for pets, admittedly – this is a fairly non-invasive procedure that doesn’t take long to complete.Currently PRP is being used to treat arthritis, soft tissue injuries and large wounds in cats and dogs.
