Скачать или смотреть CAM LIVE: Managing arthritis in dogs living on the street with Jade Statt

Canine Arthritis Management (CAM) has always aimed to provide support and information to help people on all budgets. In this video, Hannah Capon talks with Jade Statt of StreetVet about the interventions that are not only applicable to dogs and owners that live in a warm home, but also to those with limited funds and who live on the streets. These include weight management, medication that is proven to work rather than trialling supplements, education on lifestyle to minimise aggravating factors and simple, practical solutions such as providing coats in the winter.

Jade Statt qualified as a vet from Glasgow Vet School in 2002. She is a co-founder of StreetVet. an RCVS-registered practice delivering free care to the homeless and their pets in towns and cities across the UK.

Canine Arthritis Management (CAM) is a veterinary driven initiative, set up by vet Hannah Capon who was becoming overwhelmed with the number of dogs she was having to put to sleep having "gone off their legs". This was often seen by the owners as a sudden incident, when in truth that dog had probably been suffering in silence for a long time prior to that day. In fact, we believe that as many as 1 in 5 dogs in the UK, and 80% of dogs over the age of 8, will have some degree of osteoarthritis. Unlike humans, dogs are unable to express their pain in words. Chronic pain is no doubt something most people will understand and empathise with, but it can be difficult to tell when a dog is suffering in the same way. We want to challenge the preconceived notion that "just getting old" or "slowing down" should be accepted in our four footed companions. Ageing in itself is not a disease! Here at CAM we think that by changing owner, vet and public perception of arthritis, we can improve and extend the lives of dogs.
