    Episode 18 - How do you know when you’re doing enough for your arthritic dog - Chelsea Dawson
    2024/11/26

    Dr. Hannah Capon and Dr. Chelsea Dawson discuss how to manage arthritis in dogs using a multimodal approach. They stress the importance of individualized care that combines medications, lifestyle changes, and physical therapies. The emotional challenge of feeling guilty for not doing enough is addressed, with a focus on recognizing what’s realistically achievable. They also highlight the need to observe behavioral changes and focus on the dog’s happiness. Owners are advised to avoid comparing themselves to others and maintain open communication with their vets. (Published September 2021 - https://youtube.com/live/ER5rnYDDi_o)

    P.s. - And it looks like we have a surprise guest! Luna, Hannahs dog, has joined the conversation—clearly, she has some paws-itively important thoughts to share.

    Biography

    Dr. Chelsea Dawson is a veterinarian specializing in chronic pain management and holistic veterinary medicine. After moving from Canada to the UK to attend the University of Glasgow Veterinary School, she began focusing on chronic pain and integrated therapies like acupuncture and herbal medicine. She currently runs her own referral service for pain assessments in Yorkshire and East Lancashire.

    Key Takeaways

    1. Multimodal approach: Effective arthritis management requires multiple interventions (e.g., medication, lifestyle changes, supplements), which should be tailored to the dog and owner’s circumstances.
    2. Biopsychosocial care: Consider the physical, emotional, and social well-being of the dog when developing a pain management plan.
    3. Behavioral markers: Watch for behavior changes that signal pain or discomfort, as these are often better indicators than physical symptoms.
    4. Manage guilt: Owners often feel they aren’t doing enough, but it’s essential to focus on what’s realistically possible and be confident in the care being provided.
    5. Avoid comparisons: Social media can create pressure to do more than what’s feasible. Focus on your dog’s specific needs rather than comparing with others.

    2024/11/12

They share personal experiences as vets and pet owners, offer advice on preparing for the decision, and suggest resources and tools to help pet owners navigate this tough process.

She brings both professional insights and personal stories of handling euthanasia decisions.
