 Re: DOG ARTHRITIS
My old dog was really hurtin last year after hunts. After getting home he would lay down and get stiff and then would have a hard time standing until he got moving again. I put him on previcox per my vets advice. Vet said it is a newer med and didn't have some of the side affects as seen in others. He was a new dog this season and I never noticed him get stoved up after any hunts like before. I was worried he had seen his last season last year but at this rate I'll get a couple more good years out of him. It was tough to leave him at home cause he would be there no matter how bad he hurt. Made a believer out of me.

 Re: DOG ARTHRITIS
Havent heard of the stuff poker is talkin bout but sounds good
Remadyll has been around awhile and makes alot of difference
Think there are 3 different Mg but I cant remember what I use
My dog isnt as bad as described but can tell he sometimes strains to jump then after long day of huntin gets to him
Usually durin huntin season give him half pill before the hunt then after at feedin time give him a whole pill
Durin off season give one pill in evening at feeding time (I only feed once a day - evening time)

 Re: DOG ARTHRITIS
I did the Rimadyl thing for a month or so with my 10 y/o choc male because he was so arthritic that he could not put weight on right rear leg. The rimadyl helped enough to get him back on all 4 legs but it is expensive so I stopped it and started using a daily pill for joint health that can be purchased at walmart for about $12 for 60 pills. I started giving 2 pills a day with his evening meal and continued that for about 3 months and now have been giving 1 daily for the last 2 years. He has never had one single limp since starting this supplement.

 Re: DOG ARTHRITIS
Auto Immune arthritis in pets or also known as rheumatoid arthritis is a condition where your pet’s own immune system attacks the joint and in some instances it affects multiple joints at once. Once the synovial membrane is inflamed eventually its mobility will decrease. Though there are some remedies to treat this kind of condition. Liquid glucosamine together with other supplements will help your pet cope up with this kind of condition.

 Re: DOG ARTHRITIS
Well our seven yr old BLM is all of a sudden 11 nexy mos and today he will again hunt-it's our last day at game farm- he loves it- will bestiff tomorrow BUT his desire etc makes it worth the pain IMHO- for him and us- almost 3yr old will do a lot of work but old boy still finds and chaese down the birds- this may be his last hunt but he will still command the front deck of our fishing boat this summer.

 Re: DOG ARTHRITIS
Cope look into Adequan. Its a once a month injectable. Rimadyl and Deramax are out there as well as pain relievers and steroids.

 Re: DOG ARTHRITIS
Deramax can lead to kidney issues when combined with acsriptin or other drugs.
