Re: Arthritis chat
I have an 11 year old Shepherd who has arthiritis in both her rear hocks and daily exercise is a must. She stays very active so it helps with the stiffness. I also give Glucosamine-Chondroitin-MSM tablets to keep the joints lubricated and a 1/2 tablet (50 mg) of Deramaxx for the swelling-stiffness-pain. MUST be given with food as it can upset their stomachs. Her orthopedic surgeon also recommended Cod Liver Oil (high source of EPA/DHA Omega-3 Fatty Acids).
