Sad day
 

How is everyone doing today is a sad day my 6 and a half year old brittany was limping this year when i took him out training so we went to the vet for x rays and it turns out that he has arthritis and a few bone spurs on his front left elbow the vet says that i shouldnt take him hunting that much because while he is hunting he forgets about the pain but when we are done it hurts him alot i am taking him to a specalist to get his opionin but i love the dog and if they say he is done then he will be just a spoiled house dog.
Thanks for listening.

Have you had your dog on Glucosamine as he was growing up? Or do you have your dog on Glucosamine now?

RE: Sad day
 

I give it to him now.

RE: Sad day
 

How long have you been giving it? What is the mg of Glucosamine -- anything else in it (chondroitin? -- MSM ? it C? Proanthocyanidins? Bromelain? anything?) Is it a hard tablet or a powser inside a "pull apart" gelatin capsule?

What did your Vet advise you to do?

RE: Sad day
 

He gave me the Synovi G3 soft chews they also have msm,creatine ,monohydrate,fatty acids,.
He also recomended Derramax and Adequan injections.
I am going to a specialist tomorrow afternoon ill see what he says.

I am sorry to hear about your dog/family member. I know that must be hard. But at least you can love on him all you want until his time is over, and it isn't anything really fatal. I hope things go well. Bless you and your dog.

Did your vet talk to you about Rimadyl? My 8yr old shorthair has the A word and Rimadyl make her hunting possible. I have shortened her time in field so she doesn't over do. And she can walk the next day because of rimadyl. I don't want her to be a house pet, it would kill her. So I will pay the cost, it is worth every penny to see her do what she loves.
