Abstract:

Assess the polyherbal formulation's (PHF) in vivo effectiveness for anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in dogs. Clients-owned 31dogs having antiquity of arthritis, dysplasia of hip, pain, and inflamed joints were chosen as G1 (n = 31) and supplemented with PHF initial 4-6 weeks; for dogs of small breeds: 1 tablet once daily. For dogs of large breeds: 2 tablets daily once, followed by maintenance (After the initial Period): half the quantity of above-recommended usage until complete recovery. Lameness, palpation pain, joint movement, scores of the bearing of weight, and the total score of clinical condition were examined along with changes in the evaluation parameters. The outcomes demonstrated that dogs' lameness, pain on palpation, joint movements, and the score of weight-bearing considerably (p< 0.001) declined by one month after PHF supplementation; consequently, the total score of the clinical condition also significantly (p< 0.001) dropped by one month. In conclusion, the administration of PHF caused the amelioration of osteoarthritic joint pain and joint inflammation in dogs through the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of the individual herbal ingredients in PHF.
