Miss Thing here is not too keen about the food. She's not one to believe us that it's not going to have medication in it. And so you can try doing some cheese or even doing some canned food for those who are more of a fan of food. But if not, you can certainly use a pill popper, as they will not only prevent your cat from hopefully spitting out the pill, but they could also help you not to have your finger bitten or potentially scratched in the meantime. So you'll just place the pill down in the pill popper, and then you'll open your cat's mouth and pop it down their throat.If your cat is a foodie, the best way to give medicine to a cat is to try and hide it in food. As you can see,

So as far as that goes, we can prescribe some types of medications that are hopefully going to be a liquid because I know it's a little easier, but we have some pills as well. We have NSAIDS that are specifically made and formulated for cats. Those are going to be a lot safer for them, especially whenever it comes to their kidneys. And we are also going to be able to provide some other pain medications like gabapentin, which you kind of run into the same situation with that as far as the cat being so small, that getting an accurate human dose is a little bit hard. Many times we will have those made into liquid medications.

There are. There are some antihistamines that you can give to cats. And there are also things that we routinely use, such as antibiotics, antifungals, and things like that. But you certainly want to consult with your veterinarian before you give them because cats are such sensitive beings.

No, cats are very sensitive whenever it comes to NSAIDs, and if you give too many of them, or if you're not getting the correct dosing or the correct type, you can cause kidney failure in your cat. They have very delicate kidneys.

So it varies, as it depends on what you're using it for, but most of the time, we're going to be using it for something like arthritis. We generally start out doing the procedure as far as the cold laser therapy about every few days for the first couple of weeks. So your dog is usually in here at least every other day, or at least a couple of times a week to help get started. But then we found that once we can get the inflammation under control, laser therapy once a week, or even down to once a month, can still be beneficial.

It's all about inflammation. Just as we can take some Advil or use the heating pad or the ice packs to help decrease inflammation in our bodies, laser therapy for dogs does the same type of thing. The inflammation is all of what we're targeting with that and helping to decrease that and make these dogs a lot more comfortable faster.

Things that we use it most commonly for are going to be for post-surgical incisions. So if your dog is spayed or neutered, perhaps we can use that to overall help promote the inflammation associated with that normal process and help speed up the healing of that incision. But we also like to use it a lot for arthritis pain. When dogs have arthritis, their joints can have a lot of inflammation associated with that. So it helps to decrease that inflammation and help promote the new healthy cells to come up and hopefully make their joints a lot more comfortable in the long run.
