Is air conditioning bad for arthritis?

Answer 1

There is no evidence to indicate that climatic factors (such as cold, wet or wind) or too much bathing cause arthritis though changes in barometric pressures may make joints feel worse. Similarly, arthritis is not caused by particular foods, cold food or drinks, heavy metals in food or the environment, or air-conditioning.

I copied this article off the Internet, unfortunately it does not give the dosage to use, but I am sure you will get that answered also. Just give the dogs weight and someone will know the correct dosage. Canine Arthritis Drugs Veterinarians are increasingly using drug therapy for the treatment of canine arthritis. The type of drug your dog receives largely depends on the type of arthritis he has. Your veterinarian can provide detailed information regarding why and when certain drugs are used. Common arthritis drugs include aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol®), carprofen, ectodolar and prednisone. All of these are used to reduce inflammation, and some act as analgesics. Note that ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®, or Nuprin® is NOT recommended for dogs or cats, although it works for humans. Furthermore, acetaminophen is toxic to cats, so products such as Tylenol should not be given to any pets other than dogs, and only under the advice of a veterinarian. Side Effects As beneficial as drug therapy is, it can cause problems for your dog. Some of the most common side effects include: vomiting diarrhea kidney & liver problems hair loss excessive urination. These side effects are usually associated with prolonged use of medication; short-term drug therapy is relatively problem-free for most dogs. If your dog is on medication, be sure you know what side effects to look for that could indicate a problem. Recently, the use of nutraceutical products containing glucosamine has increased, with good results reported. Discuss this option with your veterinarian.
