Austinville Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I give Bo Glucosamine....He gets 500 mg per day. I've noticed a difference in him since he gets it. I started because I take it for my knees and can tell within a day if I haven't taken mine.... Here's a link for info....obviously Bo should be getting about 750 to 850 mg for his weight....... http://www.glucosamine-osteoarthritis.org/glucosamine/glucosamine-for-dogs.html (Bo takes the same brand I do --- we share!)

I give it every a.m. He actually comes to get it if I've forgotten (probably for the cheese!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siberian_wolf Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 My sisters old dog (Bull Mastiff mix Staffie called Rudy) had arthitis and was on Glucosamine (not sure how much) and it made a great improvement, he still had problems with things like stairs, getting in and out of the car, etc but he used to struggle alot with basic walking and the meds certainly helped him with light exercise, etc. For the medication, I would go and get some veterinary advice first. Here are a few link for natural remedies: http://www.arthritis-help-for-pets.com/?gclid=CPS-mf3w1pkCFYJM5Qod6E80YA Also you can get magnetic collars for dogs with arthritis which is meant to be very good for reliving the pain. http://www.worldofmagnets.co.uk/store/shopfront/magnetic_animal_collars.htm http://www.amazinghealth.co.uk/bioflow-dog-collar.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleeptalker Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 hi reno has a bio flow collar and i think this has helped loads with his leg. he also has glucosamine, msm and rosehip which i buy from petmeds. since getting the collar in january he has not had any limping or vet visits.

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 cool ill look in2 everythin thanks all now how 2 get the hair dye off!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siberian_wolf Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 cool ill look in2 everythin thanks all now how 2 get the hair dye off!? all I can suggest for the hair dye is to give him a good wash with Dog Shampoo. If that doesnt work you could call your local dog groomer and ask what they suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
