what to give arthritic dog
Hi
I've got a 10 y old Tervuren that has arthritis. It is her elbows that i think trouble her most, and the left one seems to be worse than the right. Without Rimadyl she sometimes limps after getting up, and is a bit stiff. About two years ago she got carthrophen injections, and they seemed to help for quite some time. We will probably try a set of new injections at some time and possibly acupuncture. Now I give her Rimadyl and something with glucosamin, chondroitin and MSM with her food. She swims in the summer, how much depends on the amount of algae in the water. She plays with my younger dog, and i try to keep her from jumping. What else could i do to make her feel better? Is there any point in giving her more glucosamine etc? What other stuff is there that i can feed her, someone mentioned green lipped mussles and Myristin in an earlier thread, what are those? Rosa |
