Use of PCSO-524® Along with Physical Therapy for Controlling Pain and Inflammation in a Cat Suffering from Osteoarthritis, Chronic Kidney Disease and Triaditis
A spayed female domestic shorthaired cat aged 21 years and weighed 4.2 kilograms with history of chronic kidney disease and triaditis was referred to Suvarnachad Animal Hospital.
The cat showed signs of both hind limb weakness, limp tail and pain around posterior body part. Other signs included polydipsia, polyuria, and diarrhea. Radiographic examination revealed osteoarthritis at lumbosacral joint, elbow and both stifle joints. Hematological and blood chemistry tests showed mild anemia, neutrophilic leukocytosis, increased serum amyloid A and Increased Feline pancreatic lipase.
Administration of PCSO-524® and physical therapy were provided to reduce systematic and local pain and inflammation. The supportive treatment was continued for 15 months, during the first 2 months of which, the lumbosacral joint painwas reduced and then disappeared after 5 months. The control of elbow and knee joint pain was satisfied for the whole treatment period.
The cat was able to move the tail and resume normal walking after the 1st and 5th month of the treatment, respectively. Ability to jump and climb returned in the 5th and 8th month. However, the cat had improved defecation within 3 months. Testing of feline pancreatic lipase and serum amyloid A showed normal levels after 7 months of the treatment.
Use of PCSO-524® for Control of Inflammation Caused by Iris Tumorand Uveitis in Cats with Lymphoma and Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors:
A neutered male Domestic Shorthair cat aged 8 years was infected with FIV and diagnosed with nasal submucosa-T-cell lymphoma that was positive to CD3.
Four months later, tumor of iris and uveitis were found in the left eye. Treatment of inflammation of the left eye included prednisolone acetate 1% eye drop (lnf-oph® 1 %, Seng Thai company; Thailand) qid, doxycycline (Siadocin®, Siam Bheasach; Thailand) PO at the dose 10 mg/kg/day, prednisolone (Prednisolone GPO; Thailand) PO0.36 mg/kg bid.
Two weeks later, the size of tumor remained constant, the inflammation degree was reduced but creatinine level was increased. Administration of oral prednisolone, not the eye drop, was then terminated. Uveitis of the right eye was diagnosed and also fibrin in the anterior chamber and tumor of the iris were found in the right eye. Prednisolone acetate 1% eye drop was prescribed for both eyes.
The inflammation of both eyes still existed after 1 month of the prednisolone treatment. Green Lipped mussel extract, PCSO-524® (VetzPetz Antinol®, DKSH, Thailand), 1 capsule per day was then prescribed as an alternative of steroidal medication for control of inflammation, together with the prednisolone acetate 1 % eye drop in both eyes.
After 30 days of the start of PCSO-524® treatment, the tumor of iris disappeared and the severity of uveitis was reduced in both eyes.
Clinical Effect of PCSO-524® on 3 Osteoarthritic Cats Associated with Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors:
Three cats suffering from chronic kidney disease were admitted to animal hospital.
The first cat showed sudden onset of right hindlimb pain without apparent cause. Bladder stone was found in the second cat while the third cat was admitted for nursing care. Caging was applied and fluid therapy were administered for the third cat. All 3 cats had never been diagnosed with arthritis prior to the admission.
X-ray examination showed symptoms of arthritis at hip and stifle joints. PCSO-524® was then administered daily for 60 days.
Pain evaluation using Feline Musculoskeletal Pain Index (FMPI), which is a reliable and effective method for pain evaluation in cats (Benito et al., 2013), showed that, after the treatment, chronic pain was decreased in all of the cats (Appendix 1). The cats’ behavior was nearly normal compared with the behavior before the treatment. Interaction between the cats and owners was improved as well.
By the end of the experiment, UP/C ratio was not altered and blood creatinine tended to decrease.
Nutraceutical Treatment of Feline Fhne and Hip Dysplasia in an 8-Month Old Cat
Authors:
A Persian male cat was diagnosed with right hip luxation and left hip injury. While waiting for surgical treatment, the cat was treated with NSAIDs to control pain and inflammation.
After the operation on the right femoral head (right FHNE), the cat received antibiotics and NSAIDs for 10 and 3 consecutive days, respectively. Two weeks after the operation, the lameness and pain of the right hip, as observed from palpation, still remained, but the cat began to bear partial weight.
PCSO-524® was then prescribed and the gait analysis was performed to measure the angle of joint movement.
The monitoring showed increased angle of joint movement and decreased lameness score. This was consistent with the owner report that described less hiding behavior of the cat and improved high jump performance and better quality of life.

Efficacy of PCSO-524® (VetzPetz Antinol®) for Inflammation Control in Cat with Chronic Juvenile Gingivitis Responsive to Full Mouth Extraction
Authors:
The cat was having signs of juvenile gingivitis and retained deciduous dentition. Extraction of deciduous teeth were performed when the cat was 11 months old. However, gingivitis was persistent and causing severe halitosis, saliva stain on hair around the lips, drooling, and gingival overgrowth.
The cat was treated with New Zealand green-lipped mussel oil extract PCSO-524® (VetzPetz Antinol®, DKSH, Thailand) 1 capsule daily for 2 months after the extraction of deciduous teeth.
The treatment was able to reduce degree of drooling and gingivitis but could not completely eliminate the disease.
Full mouth extraction was then performed.
Post-operative care included anti-inflammatory drug, Tolfenamic acid (Tolfedine®, Vétoquinol, Best Agro; Thailand) 4 mg/kg for 3 consecutive days, Amoxicillin-Clavulanic acid (Clavamox®, Zoetis, Thailand12.5 mg/kg for 1 week, and New Zealand green-lipped mussel oil extract PCSO-524® (VetzPetz Antinol®, DKSH, Thailand) 1 capsule per day continuously.
The severity of gingivitis was rapidly decreased after the operation and within 2 weeks after the operation, the gingivitis was completely subsided.
The oil extract was administered continuously for 31 months without showing any clinical signs or impaired hematological indicators.
Treatment of Severe Hind Limb Paresis and Posterior Paresis Caused by Traumatic Myelopathy in Cats Using PSCO-524® (Antinol®) and Physical Therapy
Authors:
A 2 years old domestic short hair cat weighted 3.55 kilograms was referred to Kasetsart University Veterinary Hospital for severe hind limb paresis with loss of sensory function. The onset of symptoms was observed a week ago after the cat returned from missing. Radiographic examination did not show any vertebral disorders. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examination found accumulation of fluid in spinal cord at T10-T12 level, which indicated spinal cord injury. Traumatic myelopathy was diagnosed.
The paresis was grade 5 so PSCO-524® (Antinol®) 1 capsule per day was prescribed. After a week of the treatment, the cat was able to control urination and voluntary motor function of the hind limbs.
However, the sensory system malfunction remained. Spinal walk, walking with the hind limbs when sensation loss was observed after physical therapy was concurrently provided for 3 weeks.
Efficacy of Oral PCSO-524®
as an Anti-Inflammatory Medicationin a Persian Cat with Pruritic Skin Disease
Authors:
This is a case report of a Persian cat with severe pruritus, which was not improved by topical external parasitic treatment, food trial and 2 months treatment with oral cyclosporine at the dose 5mg/kg. The cat developed corneal ulcer after the long-term treatment with oral cyclosporine.
PCSO-524® (Antinol® Vetz Petz, New Zealand) was replaced cyclosporine as an anti-inflammation treatment and also was considered as a skin barrier support.
The cause of pruritic in this case report was still inconclusive, but the skin lesions of this cat resolved after 2 months supplement with oral PCSO-524® and external parasitic treatment with oral f vluralaner (Bravecto®, MSD).
In conclusion, oral PCSO-524® (Antinol®, Vetz Petz), could be considered as an anti-inflammation and skin barrier support when the cats could not be treated with potent anti-inflammatory medications such as corticosteroid or cyclosporine. The underlying causes of pruritic skin lesions should be corrected in order to manage feline pruritic skin diseases.
Effect of PCSO-524® Supplement on Inflammation and Pain Control and Its Safety for Orthopedic Surgery in Pregnant Cats
Authors:
Bone fracture is common in stray cats. It can cause severe pain and requires surgical treatment.
Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or opioid drugs is common for control of pain from bone fracture. However, adverse effects are frequently reported for NSAIDs and opioid use.
Objective of this study is to evaluate anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects and safety of PCSO-524® (Antinol®) for bone surgery in pregnant cats.
Use of PCSO-524® Combined with Surgical Treatment of Patellar luxation in Dogs
Authors:
Five dogs with bilateral patellar luxation were presented at the Small Animal Hospital of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Chulalongkorn University.
Four dogs had grade 2, 3, and 4 medial patellar luxation in 3, 3, and 2 stifle joints, respectively. One dog had grade 3 bilateral lateral patellar luxation that had recurrent patellar luxation of left stifle joint for 6 months after previous surgery. All dogs had surgical treatment to re-align and stabilize extensor mechanism in the normal position.
The dogs received anti-inflammatory drug and PCSO-524® in combination with rehabilitation to restore normal limb function and muscle mass postoperatively. All dogs achieved good outcomes when compared with pre-operation. Range of motion was normal in all dogs and the patellae were in the normal position.
However, one stifle with previous reluxation and severe osteoarthritis had slightly crepitation when flexed and extended the stifle joint. Patellar luxation causes abnormal wear of the patella and trochlear ridges leading to lameness, muscle pain, and osteoarthritis.
The treatment focuses on stabilization of the stifle joint and restore limb function. Surgical treatment is recommended in most cases. Rehabilitation provides strengthen muscle, improves normal joint function, enhanceslimb function, and prevents complications.
Despite successful treatment for correcting patellar luxation, osteoarthritis remains occurrence in most cases.
Therefore, use of anti-inflammatory supplement such as PCSO-524® is important for long-term management with less side effect and safety for long-term use when compared with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
