The irritant Osteum, wlv’h causes tissue to heat up, thus in/c- ing self-healing, was also highfel- fective and likewise showed nlrn- mediate cartilage damage, prron said. Unfortunately, notes Herd, the drugs and their method of jection does little to alleviate theorise of arthritis and proper cagnosis should be carried out bef e either drug is used. Direct joint injection with the two drugs is carried out as part of the treatment regimen at Texas A&M’s small animal clinic, where Herron and other faculty oversee students as they diagnose, prescribe and carry out clinical phases of their training. One of the features of Texas A&M s College of Veterinary Medicine is its acceptance of cases in which owners agree to new and untried methods that may help their animal and ultimately benefit other animals and humans.
