I'm prompted to share some canine information because some of the recent posts tell me that the people on WC really, really, really care about their dogs.
If you have a dog who has some pain on walking, running, hunting that is caused by joint problems, you may be able to help it by doing what I did. I'm a runner who had to curtail running because of too much knee pain. Then, a worker friend of mine gave me an article on horses. They gave the horses Glucosamine complex at ~10mg/# body weight and the horses showed big time improvement.
Base on that, I started to take glucosamine complex (IMPORTANT NO CHONDROITIN, which is more expensive any way). I bought Schiff brand 1000mg tablets at Walmart and took 2 a day since I weigh ~155#. Within 1 week, my knee pain was gone! If it's going to help you, you'll know quickly.
Well, my yeller lab,Yukon Gold, had sustained a car injury as a young dog & would sometimes exhibit severe limping after strenuous hunting. I gave this dog 500mg in the AM & also the PM with his meals. He runs like a puppy now!! In >2 years, there's been no limping!!
Comsumer reports did a story on glucosamine benefits a few months ago. Check it out.
If you or your pooch have joint problems that are cartilege related, you may benefit from glucosamine complex. It'll only cost you $10 - 15 to find out within 1 - 2 weeks if it will help you. I'm not aware of any known negative side effects of glucosamine complex. Read about it & decide if you want to try it?
No - I don't own stock in any of this. I want to share with you an inexpensive remedy. My vet said I should use prescription glucosamine (at 5 - 10X) cost because it gives a guaranteed dosage. I said no-no because the much less expensive stuff is giving Yukon & me great results.
It's not snake oil or "alternative medecine." It's a cartilege precursor.
