Effectiveness of Disease Modifying Osteoarthritis Agents and Carprofen for Treatment of Canine Osteoarthritis

A prospective, randomized, single-blinded study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of disease modifying osteoarthritis agents (DMOAAs) and carprofen by using force plate gait analysis and orthopaedic assessment score (OAS) in osteoarthritic dogs.

Forty dogs with hip and/or stifle osteoarthritis (OA) were assigned randomly into four treatment groups:

PCSO-524, treated with a marine-based fatty-acid compound; GC-ASU, treated with a combination of glucosamine-chondroitin sulphate and avocado/soybean unsaponifiables; CPF, treated with carprofen; and CPF-PCSO, treated with a combination of carprofen and PCSO-524. Each group received the therapeutic agent orally for four weeks.

Peak vertical force (PVF), OAS, haematology and blood chemistry values were evaluated before treatment, and on the second and fourth weeks post-treatment.

No significant effect was found in the PVF, OAS and blood values among the four treatment groups.

This trial included 66 mixed breed dogs with x-ray confirmed OA split into two treatment groups for 24 weeks. These were 1) PCSO-524 (5 mg/kg) and 2) fish oil (2,000 mg/d). The dogs were all placed on a standardised diet to minimise variability.

The results suggest that PCSO-524 is protective against cartilage breakdown in dogs with osteoarthritis.

The Objectives of this study were to investigate the effectiveness of PCSO-524, NSAIDs and combination of NSAIDs and PCSO-524 in the treatment of canine osteoarthritis through the use of force plate gait analysis.

Study Design: A prospective block-randomized single-blinded study.

Animals: Thirty client-owned dogs that had clinical and radiographic evidences of hip or stifle osteoarthritis.

A randomized complete blocked design was assigned to 40 healthy Beagle dogs aged between 1 to 3 years old. All dogs were separated into 4 groups, each of which had 5 males and 5 females.

Adaptation and test periods were of 2 and 8 weeks duration, respectively.

Four dietary treatments were composed of basal diet plus 20 empty capsules as placebo (negative control), basal diet plus 2 (the recommended dose), 6 (3 times the recommended dose) and 20 capsules (10 times the recommended dose) of n-3 PUFAs (PCSO-524®: Antinol®).

Application of the Polyunsaturated fatty acid compound PCSO-524 in the post operative recovery of dogs that have had stifle surgery

WSAVA FASAVA Congress 2013
World Small Animal Veterinary Assoc.
38th Annual Congress 6-9 March 2013, Auckland, New Zealand

The clinical outcomes of the use of PCSO-524 in 28 dogs that had undergone surgery on the stifle (which included correction of the patellar luxation and correction of cranial cruciate ligament rupture) were studied at the Small Animal Teaching Hospital, at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand.

Twenty-eight dogs that undergone both stifle surgery were included in our study. All test subjects had been given pre-emptive analgesia (morphine sulfate). NSAIDs and glucosamine had been administered before the surgery.

Two postoperative treatments were:

  1. NSAIDs treatment for one week in combination with glucosamine sulfate;
  2. only PCSO-524 treatments.

The clinical outcome of PCSO-524 application in the treatment of canine osteoarthritis and spinal disorder was studied at the Small Animal Teaching Hospital, Chulalongkorn University.

Eighty-four dogs were included in our study. Thirty-one dogs showed signs of osteoarthritis (OA) in both hip joints and shoulder joints; 33 dogs had OA in stifle joints from cranial cruciate ligament rupture; and 20 dogs had neurological signs of the cauda equina syndrome.

All affected dogs were treated by 50 mg/ 10 kg of PCSO-524, PO for twelve weeks.
