Looking for help for our Molly
Our Molly is a fabulous 5yr 10 month old lab/mastif mix......about a month ago she start having some hip problems, and we immediately took her to her doctor..... at that point it was recommended that we start her on a program of 'Oste O-3" twice a day and "Rimadyl" twice a day. After some research we decided to wait on using the rimadyl due to its side effects and try a more holistic therapy with her diet and adding colloidal silver to boost her immune system, and also Sun gold 75% pure yucca...... unfortunately today she took a drastic turn for the worse and was not able to get up ..... at this desparate point we gave her a dose of the rimadyl---- and searching for help for our precious little girl. Any suggestions are so welcome.... and information from anyone that has used rimadyl.
desparately seeking---- Molly's Mom |

Molly had a complete 'annual' physical in January----then on May 1, 2007 when she started showing more signs of stiffness in her hips, she went to her dr again, at that point we had the baseline blood panels done again. At that time her vet perscribed the Rimadyl. We let our vet know our concerns about what we had researched concerning Rimadyl... we still got her perscription then (5-01-07) however have tried the holistic path (with her dr's knowledge) till yesterday when she made such a drastic change. This morning after having her first pill of Rimadyl at 3:30pm yesterday and a night's rest.... she was able to get up---- slowly and with great difficulty, but she got to her feet, ate some breakfast, and went outside for a moment. At this moment she is resting again... Thank you for your post! |

Any suggestions are so welcome.... and information from anyone that has used rimadyl. Are Molly's hip problems due to arthritis? Adequan injections helped two of our dogs who had serious arthritis, gave them a lot more mobility than they'd had before we started them on the injections. We started Chile, our 16 year old (next Wednesday) Chihuahua on them about two years ago. She has arthritis in her spine, hips and knees, and while she can't jump on and off the furniture anymore, she still gets short bouts of the zoomies now and then. It's worth a google and a discussion with your vet. (I'm hoping it's approved for humans by the time my arthritis gets bad enough to need it!) Are you giving her fish oil with omega-3s? That also is supposed to help with arthritis. FurPaw (I have no financial interest in Adequan) -- My family values don't involve depleted uranium. To reply, unleash the dog. |
