Gaynor, DVM, MS, DACVA, DAAPM Colorado Springs, CO USA Principles of Acute & Chronic Pain Management Pain control is good medicine Continuous analgesia Multimodal approach brain Wind Up brain NMDA receptormediated innocuous stimuli spinal cord innocuous stimuli Allodynia noxious stimuli noxious stimuli spinal cord periphery periphery PPVG 2013 PPVG 2013 Surgical Patient Delayed Healing Stress Response General Catabolism Lipolysis Common Scenario Wind-up : OsteoArthrtitis NSAID for months -> years successful Now efficacy has diminished Switch? OA Patient Accelerated Muscle Atrophy Greater Dysfunction PPVG

2 Amantidine NMDA antagonist 3-5 mg/kg PO QD x 21 days Continue NSAID Side effects High anxiety Too high of a dose Dry mouth Slow liver metabolism Uncommon Gabapentin is not a substitute! Alleviation of Pain Associated With OA Adjuncts - amantidine Weight loss Controlled exercise & physical rehabilitation Pain relievers Structure modifiers: Cosequin Multi-modal approach Other Webinars Available A Logical Approach to Chronic Pain Therapy What to Use When You Can t Use NSAIDs Out of the Box Approaches to Chronic Pain Cutting Edge Approaches to Chronic Pain Weight Loss and Hip Arthritis J. Am. Vet. Med. Assoc. 2002, 220, Weight Loss Definitely decreases pain in humans More effective in knee than hip It does matter in dogs! Integral part of any therapy Diet dog food - variable success 5% Slentrol - absolute component of pain control Easy Approach to Weight Reduction Calorie restriction Feed 25% less Goal- 3% weight loss in 30 days Follow up every month Prep owner for Slentrol if they are unsuccessful PPVG

9 NSAIDs in Comparison More efficacious than placebo A few comparisons Little difference in pain relief in the big picture NSAIDs in Comparison Individuals will respond better to one NSAID than another Pain relief Adverse responses Need 2,3,4 NSAIDs on your shelf What About Blood Testing Pre-chronic administration days after starting most common timing for adverse effects with NSAIDs Every 6-12 months for dogs What about Tramadol/ Gabapentin? OA is an inflammatory disease Tramadol and gabapentin have ZERO anti inflammatory properties NOT as good as primary pain relievers Good adjuncts with NSAIDs Conclusions Osteoarthritis is complicated Be flexible with the treatment options Try until there is nothing else Get help before committing to euthanasia PPVG
