    Dog owners, what do u give ur dog for joint support?

    i have a 6 yr old yorky and her legs r not doing so good. The knee joints are slipping. the joints go side to side and it looks bad when she walks. Picked up Arthrimaxx. she is getting X-rays tomorrow too. my poor lil baby.


    anyone here have any luck with a joint support supplement for their dog? any recommendations would be appreciated.

    thanks

              Is that a common problem with those type of dogs? 6 is pretty young

              My greyhound is 6 1/2 and has metal plates in his legs and walks fine
              .

                          i dont know if she is pain. she is not whimpering or crying or anything. just not her usual self this week. usually a very active dog....

                              Well if she is not moving like she use to do and if it takes her more time to stand up ... she is in pain...

                              any arthritis medecin is good ask your close familly if anyone as arthritis if so take that.... its mesured by weight....

                                      The reason I asked the dog food, is it seems odd with her age of 6 that she would have problems.

                                      If she is an outside dog, or goes to doggy parks, or Doggydaycare have your vet check her for lime.

                                                  I have an older dog that we give Rimadyl to and it seems to suppress the pain for her. She plays more now than she did before. You might want to ask the doctor about this also if he determines that she does have the arthritis. good luck tomorrow.

                                                              Also glucosamine is an excellent alternative.

                                                                          anyone here have any luck with a joint support supplement for their dog? any recommendations would be appreciated.

                                                                          thanks

My first yorky lived until 10 years and was fat from excess human food, though he had no joint issues. The only time I have met other yorkies with these issues is dogs that are fat.

                                                                                                          If one knee in particular seems to be a problem, your dog may have blown a cruciate or a supporting ligament. In small breed dogs it may be more difficult to notice, but in large breed dogs a limp will be quite pronounced.

                                                                                                          Rimadyl IS a good drug for pain, but ocassionaly it can cause serious liver damage. If you can get Meloxacam instead it's probably a better drug.

                                                                                                          In any case, best to ask your Vet in person and go with what they suggest.
