2Huskyfun Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Poor thing.... Ya I don’t think vets think through the whole “keep them calm and quiet but here is some pain pills to make them feel great” LOL Not sure if CBD is legal in your area, but it does work great and is a great alternative to taking a bunch of pills. My girlfriend has an 11 year Great Dane with that and she only gives him CBD. He has good days and bad days but it seems to really help him. I feel your pain.... my pups are so mad at me and I feel so bad. They want to play but every time they do her mouth starts bleeding. Hope everything goes well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeonah Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Arthritis is easily manageable Rob. Our Sasha has arthritis of the spine. She lets us know when she's uncomfortable and we manage her pain but as for getting her to rest, forget it. They're huskies mate and, if they want to do it, they will. Took Sasha out with us for a ride the other day. Thought I'd give her a gentle walk through the woods after I'd run the others. She screamed the place down until I hooked her up to the bike and she then proceeded to drag Sapphire round the woods like a 2 year old without a care in the world. I do give her slow release Tramadol when she's done something like this though and that settles her afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexRoss0908 Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 My old dog was also diagnosed with osteoarthritis, and I used to give her CBD oil to relax and to calm down. Also, I heard that it can work as a pain killer. I found this info somewhere online and decided to try it. I really didn’t want my babe to suffer from pain. I hope it really helped her to suffer less. She seemed sleeping so calm after that. I just added a couple of drops in her water bowl, so it wasn’t that concentrated. After that, I started to experiment with CBD oil on myself and ordered the CBD vape pen starter kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted August 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 I do not use cod oil...to me all a hype and I want her to show me if she is hurting so that we can do other treatments even the joint tablets I have stopped using makes her even more cranky...

wolfpup Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 If you try the Yumove route - just bear in mind that the ONLY active ingredient in Yumove tablets is green lipped mussels - even in the vet precription only Yumove. RIAFLEX sells Green Lipped Mussels powder - runs out at around 1/4 the cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted August 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 It is the yumove that makes her crancky she has had no supplement and no painkillers for 6 weeks and totally fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpup Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Then it really is worth giving the green lipped mussel powder a go - it really helped Lunar towards the end. Because it is pure mussel powder - no addatives to make her cranky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
