State the Solution
While Spot will have this condition for the rest of his life, we can treat
the pain. With his pain under control, Spot will be much more comfortable.
He should be more willing to take walks, play, and will likely act more like
his old self again.
Make Your Recommendation
Ms. Jones, I am going to send Spot home with METACAM to manage
the pain associated with his osteoarthritis. We will start Spot at the
label‑ recommended dose, see how he responds, and then work together to
ensure his dose is at the lowest effective level. Do you have any questions?

Conversation
Ms. Jones, after examining Spot, I believe
the reason he has been slowing down
and seems reluctant to go on walks is
because he has osteoarthritis.
