[NAGDU] Arthritis

[Sherry Gomes]

Isn't Dasequin a glucosamine med? I would think that might not work, depending on the arthritis. I do admit though that number one, I'm not a vet, and number two, as someone born with juvenile arthritis, which I still have to this day, I get very tired of people telling me glucosamine will help my arthritis, even to the point of restoring the damage in all my joints. So, all that to say, I'm not impartial when it comes to glucosamine. Lol. I do give my guide a glucosamine tablet with her meals. It's made by the company NaturVet. It's over the counter and I get it from chewie. I don't know if it will help her joints stay healthy or not, but she's eight and can still jump up on my bed and so forth.

My old boy Krokus is getting a bit stiff in his back end.  The vet recommended Dasuquin, a joint supplement.  We bought Nutromax Dasuquin soft chews from Chewy, and he's been getting one a day since January, after a double dose a day in December.  Maybe it helps some, but he still seems a bit stiff.  It's hard to tell, now I don't walk with him in harness, but that's how it seems to me. 

I'll take him to the vet again next month probably, but I was wondering if other people are giving their dogs something for arthritis that's working well.

Thanks.

Tracy
