Abstract:
This study aimed to compare the anti-inflammatory effect of the NZGLM and placebo in patients with cranial cruciate ligament disease using thermographic imaging. This study evaluated the temperature from thermographic imaging to measure the reduce of inflammation. This study included 52 dogs with cranial cruciate disease and medial patellar luxation. All dogs were divided into 2 group that was group A and group B. The temperature at day 0 were 99.60 °F in group A and 99.07 °F in group B. The temperature at 4th week were 97.09 °F in group A and 99.02 °F in group B. The result revealed that NZGLM group can reduce the temperature of the stifle joint. In conclusion, based on temperature of the NZGLM group and placebo group in this study, The temperature of the stifle joint in this study by using thermographic imaging method can show the different of the NZGLM group.
