Guest kar Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I have snow on fresh factors now for two weeks for mild hip dysplasia and arthritis. She is also on daisaquin. I see no differences as of yet. Should I if it is going to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbhounds Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hip dysplasia in a greyhound is known to be rather rare--how was the diagnosis determined and other diseases/conditions ruled out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kar Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 she was x rayed. She is an akc greyhound though. My last racer died last year. My vet said he sees no sign of cancer, just a mild case of hip dysplasia and a bit of arthritis. He said it is not as common in greys as in other breeds, but still can happen.

Time4ANap Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 When I started Rocket on Fresh Factors it was like he got a burst of energy within about 10 days. He was playing, running, jumping much more than he had been. A while later I started him on the joint health as a precaution since he was getting older. He still runs like a racer every night when he goes outside, jumps, stalks things, and loves to throw stuffies and spin in circles. He will be 10 in a few months. He seems to be itchy here in the desert, especially around the nose and eyes. I started adding the Springtime oil to his food this week, and am seeing less itching and batting at his nose and eyes after just a few days. His coat is also slowly getting softer. Since I add the oil to his food, he has been going back and licking the bowl about 4 times after each meal. Must taste good. There is no "miracle pill," but I have been pretty happy overall with the Springtime products. Like anything else, whether or not something is working for your hound is a judgement call on your part. You know your hound best, and as long as you aren't seeing any ill effects from the addition of the Fresh Factors, I would probably keep giving it for a while and monitor for any changes.

Busderpuddle Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Where do you order these from and which one should I start with ? My girl has a hard time getting up and down and the vet says it is arthritis. The prescription he gave us seems to be doing nothing.

racindog Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Momma had what the vet told me was one of the worse cases of hip dysplasia she had ever seen. Momma was a NGA greyhound who was a AA racer with an excellent race record. She had 52 babies and made it only 3 weeks shy of 15 years. Toward the end she got Robaxin & Tramadol daily for pain but did well with it. She also got DURALACTIN, Fresh Factors, Advanced Joint Formula & Longevity. Duralactin is an effective anti-inflammatory THAT IS SAFE. I would not give Momma the ususal dog NSAID's because of side effects-especially with long term use- but the Duralactin treated the inflamation which reduced pain further. The Duralactin is kind of expensive and they might not eat it anyway so it is much cheaper to just get the active ingredient Microlactin from Swanson or Vitacost etc. In fact Swanson has a powder form that is tasteless that can easily be added to their food.

XTRAWLD Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) I've recently tried Advanced Hip and Joint and realize there is one ingredient in there not found in Fresh Factors or Joint Health that helps with inflammation and assists with arthritis etc. Kasey also seems to LOVE eating the plain powder of Longevity (refuses to eat it if I mix it with food ) which contains even more ingredients than Fresh Factors, etc. Kasey showed improvement within 2 weeks of using Fresh Factors. How much are you giving? That can be a big difference - I think I started him on 4 tablets a day.

Burpdog Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 How many are you giving her? Anyone giving a product with MSM -- do not give with pred My guys are on a maintenance dose of 6 per day. For a severe problem, I do 10-12 per day for a week than try & scale back. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
