My Dog Is Better Than Your Dog

Empathy in Action: Holistic Approaches to Relieving Pet Pain


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Lily dives into an important and timely discussion about long-term pain management for pets, addressing the concerns surrounding popular pain injections like Librela and Solensia. While these quick fixes may seem appealing, they come with potential long-term complications and risks that every pet parent should be aware of.

We explore what truly moves the needle in pain management by focusing on whole-body wellness and sustainable approaches to healing.


Key Topics Discussed:

📍The Importance of Accurate Diagnoses:

Why understanding the root cause of your pet’s pain is critical for effective treatment. How conditions like arthritis can lead to secondary pain in other parts of the body.

📍Rethinking Pain as a Signal:

Pain as the body’s protective mechanism. The risks of masking pain without addressing the underlying issues.

📍Holistic and Integrative Pain Management Options:

Prolotherapy: A powerful injection combining nutrients, homeopathics, ozone, and a tiny amount of cortisol for localized inflammation relief.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Using your pet’s own blood to concentrate healing factors and promote natural repair.

Amnion Therapy: Harnessing the regenerative power of stem-cell-rich amniotic fluid for safe and effective healing.

📍Non-Invasive Approaches:

The role of thermal imaging in identifying inflammation hotspots. Laser therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and therapeutic massages to alleviate pain and restore balance. Acupuncture as a tool to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities.

📍The Long-Term Vision:

Why addressing the root cause of pain leads to better outcomes for your pet. Building a sustainable care plan with your veterinarian that prioritizes your pet’s individual needs.

Takeaways for Pet Parents:

Ask your vet about diagnostic tools beyond standard X-rays to get a clearer picture of your pet’s condition.

Discuss alternative therapies that target healing rather than just masking pain.
Advocate for a care approach that prioritizes your pet’s unique body and lifestyle.

This holiday season, give your pet the gift of lasting wellness and comfort by exploring integrative approaches to pain management.
