Guest greybookends Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 With my old guys I've used low dose pred (10-20mg a day) in addition to supplements. When you say "all kinds of glucosamine" does that include Fresh Factors (which is chondroitin, from bovine)? MSM? Acupuncture and chiropractic help a lot. I agree with burpdog. chiropractic helps Tasha a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawthorn Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I have osteoarthritis in my fingers and take a herb called Devils Claw, which has helped a lot with the pain. I also gave it to my late greyhound, Charlie, with some success. Sending prayers for Oliver. When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
