I have noticed Skye's joints click and she's only coming up 11weeks old. Could I put her on glucosamine & chon pills thst Brody is on? Or would this cause problems? I have googled it and It looks like its a good idea but I'd like to hear your opinions. Also after seeing another thread id like to ask what's the best wormer that covers every worm.
Thanks

You could add some salmon oil to food. Not sure what is the best wormer I usually get it from the vets x

I think you can give glucosamine & chondroitin at any age. I've started giving Cortaflex to Toots following her leg injury. it's a supplement not a medicine.
Agree with Hayley about the milbemax. I am going to give that to mine instead of Drontal for the lungworm prevention.

We have been using Drontal wormer for Rocky but the last couple of times he had it it made him sick. I think they may have changed the formular of it. May consider changing him back to Milbemax too. Will speak to the vet and see what she says.
