Arthritis

Hi all i posted on here some 6 weeks ago about my dogs showing signs of arthritis in his front leg and i was advised by my vet to put my dog on a supplement. I was very grateful of the help i received on this forum when i asked for suggestions of what supplements to use. I went for "yu move" he has been on them 6 weeks i'm still waiting for them to kick in, my question today is what else would you guys be doing to aid this problem for my dog? should i be adding maybe tuna to his diet? i'm very open to help and suggestions on this mater your help will be very appreciated.

Mark, my Flo suffers too and we give her Nutraquin, one capsule a day. Not sure what effect it's having but it certainly isn't doing her any harm.

Tuna would be fine as it contains omega etc and is good for human joints so I guess the same should apply for Dogs.

Tuna is a good option or you could try glucosamine capsules which might help

How many tablets of Yumove are you giving him,i give Sasha one and a half for her weight.

he has 2 a day as he weighs 23 kilos

I have been reading about introducing turmeric to my dogs diet it has many health benefits , has anyone had any experience on this?

mia has a condition similar to arthritis and the tuna always helps her joint formula helps her massively too slimmind down will massively help as will shorter walks often

I was just about to ask the same question on here then saw your post. My Daisy is ten and has arthritis in her legs, I give her glucosamine and chondroitin capsules which seem to be quite good for her. I was wondering if there is any kind of rub or ointment that could be used, like the sort we get nurofen gel but for dogs.

My local vets does a free arthritis clinic, I am going to book Daisy in, so I will come back on here and let people know what they say we can do.

I keep Daisys walks short and sometimes give her the doggy suspension liquid if she is really sore.

ahh bless I vet the clinic will be useful a massage will help daisy too as it will relax her let us know how you get on

Glucosamine and chondroitin and a daily massage helped my old girl

I might invest in a headpad as well, but would love to be able to get a gel rub. She has a naughty puppy who sometimes nips her legs as well, but I get him with the water squirter so that puts an end to that. I have to lift her onto the sofa as well bless her poor old girl. She had a cruciate ligament op 8 years ago and has had a stroke which makes her week on her front legs as well. Keep you updated x
