My beloved pug is about to turn 13, and like so many older dogs, her hips are beginning to go.
Vet says it's arthritis. She prescribed an additional painkiller on top of one already prescribed. Jury is out regarding whether it will work.
But vet also said that the next recommended step could be laser therapy. This vet is new and the practice was just acquired from older vets. Prices went up after the aquisition. The new vets are good and maybe this is legit. Maybe just a profit center, too, that plays on the guilt of owners who (like me) love their dogs.
Anyone heard of dog laser therapy for hips? Does it work?
