Plain-English summary
Four dogs were diagnosed with villonodular synovitis, a condition that affects the joints and can cause pain and swelling. They were treated with either carprofen, a common pain reliever, or a combination of carprofen and a joint supplement called glucosamine complex (Cosequin). Three of the dogs showed significant improvement and were able to return to their normal activities. This suggests that these treatments can be effective for managing this joint condition in dogs.

In three of the dogs the condition improved significantly, and these dogs returned to normal workload.
