Locomotion

Locomotion disorders in companion animals are of two main kinds: arthritis (in dogs, in particular) and lameness in horses.

Dogs and cats

Ceva Santé Animale has developed a range of specific solutions using recognized molecules to relieve both acute and chronic pain.

  • VETERGESIC® 

VETERGESIC is an injectable solution for dogs and cats. It is a powerful, long-acting analgesic that acts on morphine receptors within the central nervous system. Frequently used by vets in anesthetic and analgesic protocols for surgical operations, VETERGESIC is highly effective in reducing pain.

  • CARPRODYL®,  DOLAGIS®  (carprofen)

Carprofen is a non-steroid anti-inflammatory with analgesic (pain-relieving) and antipyretic (fever-reducing) characteristics. Carprofen inhibits acute and chronic inflammatory reactions and is used in secondary treatment of joint inflammation.

  • MELOXIDYL® (meloxicam)

Meloxicam is used to treat pain and inflammation. It is employed in short-term treatments of inflammatory disorders and osteoarthritis, and for long-term treatments of chronic joint inflammation problems. As an oral suspension, MELOXIDYL is very practical for administering to dogs and cats with chronic muscular-skeletal problems such as osteoarthritis. In injectable form, MELOXIDYL is used by vets to reduce post-operative pain in dogs and cats.

  • FLEXIVET® Start (chondroitin - glucosamine) - FLEXIVET® Go (glucosamine)

FLEXIVET® Start combines two chondro-protectors, chondroitin and glucosamine. Marine chondroitin guarantees a majority of active isomers and offers risk-free use. One month’s administration of FLEXIVET® Start limits deterioration of the cartilage and encourages macro-molecular synthesis of joint cartilage in the animals.
Administration of FLEXIVET® Start (initial treatment) for one month should be followed by administration of FLEXIVET® Go (maintenance - glucosamine alone) for at least two months.
