I think I'm going to stop the anti inflammatory pills. Continue with the Dasuquin at 2x a day for another few weeks then drop to once a day.</p> <p>Thanks all!</p> <p>Schedule some regular walks in and help her shed some LBs and we should be in a good spot! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2173659 Sun, 10 May 2015 20:26:40 +0000 regberadaisy 2173659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I got the soft chew version<br /> Nutramax 150 Count Dasuquin with MSM Soft Chews for Large Dogs <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0081KTPQQ/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_Ruauvb0JFDZHG" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0081KTPQQ/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_Ruauvb0JFDZHG</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2173650 Sun, 10 May 2015 20:18:30 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2173650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: do you have the link? I've been following and after a weekend of running around our dog is really struggling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2173644 Sun, 10 May 2015 20:15:07 +0000 regberadaisy 2173644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fmmtk: thanks for the reco. We brought that up to our vet and she said Dasuquin with MSM is exactly what she would've suggested. It just arrived today from Amazon and I've given our pup one so far.</p> <p>She was also prescribed a anti inflammatory / pain reliever pill. We have been giving her half a dose every 24 hours. It's only been 48 and already we see a huge improvement in her movement. Vet said she has pretty bad arthritis in her hind legs. First order of business is getting her more comfortable with the pills then lose some weight. If that doesn't work she said there are laser treatments that are very effective. Hopefully we don't have to go there because it's pretty pricey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2155931 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 12:41:21 +0000 Synchronicity 2155931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: In all fairness, pain relief meds won't fix the problem either, only mask the symptoms. For something like arthritis or dysplasia, you're looking at surgery if you want a true fix, or at the very least, weight loss/strength building. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2155899 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 12:27:32 +0000 regberadaisy 2155899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fmmtk: do you know what the MSM is for? And thanks for the reco! Will ask the vet at her check up for the proper dosage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2155797 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 11:25:54 +0000 sarac 2155797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For sure take him to the vet and get some kind of pain relief. Natural stuff won't really fix the problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2155757 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 11:09:10 +0000 Torchwood 2155757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have trouble getting your dog to take the glucosamine pills, there's a brand that makes jerky treats with it in them. I don't remember the brand right now. Our dog loves them. Heads up though, it made her poo runny and gross! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2155742 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 11:03:36 +0000 Mama Bird 2155742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yet another vote for glucosamine chondroitin! My pup started having back trouble when he was 10, and it was pretty bad - he could barely move his back legs for a while. Our vet prescribed this and he was back on his feet in a week, and then kept taking the pills to prevent the problem from coming back.</p> <p>It comes in these capsules and must taste pretty good, he'd wolf them down and I never had to hide them in food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2155738 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 11:01:27 +0000 Mamaof2 2155738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fmmtk: do you have a link? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2155736 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 10:59:17 +0000 kick641 2155736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess everybody else here has said it, but glucosamine and fish oil pills really helped my mom's dog as she aged. We also spoiled her and got one of those memory foam dog beds for the floor when she had trouble jumping on my mom's bed, where she used to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2155707 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 10:40:59 +0000 fmmtk 2155707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dasuquin with MSM was a life changer for our dog who is 9 as well. We started her on it about a year ago and her quality of life has drastically improved. She acts like a puppy again! We purchase it from Amazon which is about half the price of our veterinarians office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2155684 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 10:30:33 +0000 brownie 2155684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glucosamine is what we use. But on really bad days (before we go hiking etc), we will give him a baby aspirin for relief. And then for us it is most important that he doesn't gain any weight and even loses some to be on the skinny side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2155682 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 10:29:17 +0000 alphagam84 2155682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glucosamine Chondritin pills worked wonders on our senior dog. They are human grade and you can buy at any drug store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2155596 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 09:45:08 +0000 BananaPancakes 2155596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had our pup on glucosoamine, fish oil pills, and had a prescription for Rimadyl before she passed. And remember that dogs are almost always in more pain than they show. If they look like they're having trouble getting comfortable when laying down, they're likely in a good amount of pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2155584 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 09:35:41 +0000 Synchronicity 2155584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glucosamine is probably the most common, and it's readily available and not overly expensive. Hopefully your vet will be able to give you other suggestions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jointhip-pain-relief-for-dog#post-2155579 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 09:34:01 +0000 regberadaisy 2155579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pup is almost 9 years old and in the past month her back hind legs are really starting to bother her. It's hard for her to get up from laying down. We think it's just old age arthritis or hip/joint pain. </p> <p>Are there any natural remedies that will help alleviate some of the discomfort?</p> <p>We've got her yearly check up next week and the vet will take a look to make sure there isn't something else going on! </p>
