Bear’s Journey: Healing a Dog’s Pelvis Pain

At Gladiator Therapeutics, our mission is to improve quality of life. When we heard about Bear, a beloved dog suffering from severe hip arthritis, we knew we had to help. His condition has made it difficult for him to stand or walk on his own, a heart-wrenching situation for any pet owner. Today, we’ll mark the beginning of Bear’s recovery journey as he starts using our patented therapeutic devices to find relief and regain his mobility.

We’ve provided Bear’s owner with one of our products to aid in his recovery: the Abdomen/Back Device. This combination is designed to target his severe arthritis and improve his overall well-being. We’ll be following his progress closely, offering guidance and support as he begins this new chapter.

Starting the Treatment

Bear’s owner received the abdomen/back device and wasted no time putting it to use. On the first night, the device was positioned on Bear’s back, secured over his lifting harness. His owner wisely chose to forgo the belly strap to maximize comfort. The device stayed on him through the night, marking the first step in his healing process.

A common question we receive is whether our devices can be used continuously. For a situation like Bear’s, leaving the device on 24/7 is perfectly fine and can provide consistent therapeutic benefits, helping to manage his pelvic pain more effectively. The way it was positioned over the harness is also a great approach, ensuring the device remains close to the affected area without causing discomfort.

Bear’s Current Condition

Bear’s mobility issues are significant. He can’t get up on his own to drink water, so his owner has been getting up during the night to help him and leaves a spill-proof bowl nearby when he’s alone. This dedication highlights the challenges families face when caring for a pet with severe arthritis. 

Our goal is to help Bear regain enough strength to get up and move independently, restoring a crucial part of his daily life. While running and jumping might not be in his future, walking without assistance is a tangible and hopeful goal.

Combining Technologies

Bear already had a Pro Health Frequency Technology Tag on his collar, which led to an important question: Will the two devices interfere with each other? The answer is no. Our products are designed to work harmoniously with other devices you may already be using. 

Reducing Stress with the Gladiator K-Nine Collar

In addition to physical pain, chronic conditions can cause significant stress and anxiety in dogs. To support Bear’s emotional well-being, we also recommended the Gladiator K-Nine Collar. This innovative, stress-reducing collar uses our advanced ceramic technology to provide a calming effect.

It’s a safe, waterproof, and non-powered solution that helps dogs of all sizes feel more secure. For a dog like Bear, who is dealing with pain and limited mobility, reducing anxiety is a key part of the healing process. The collar acts like a constant, gentle reassurance, helping him stay calm and comfortable as his body recovers.

A Hopeful Path Forward

This is just the beginning of Bear’s road to recovery. With the consistent use of the abdomen/back device and the calming support of the K-Nine collar, we are optimistic about his future. We hope to see him regain his independence and enjoy a better quality of life.

His owner’s dedication, combined with our technology, creates a powerful partnership for healing. We invite you to follow along with us as we post updates on Bear’s journey.
