We have a senior lab with hip dysplasia and related arthritis. We thought he might have to have surgery when he was a puppy…it was really bad. He’s been on Glucosamine/Chondroiton supplements since he was 6 months old (3 per day). We also give him 6 fish oils per day. We also take him on regular walks per our doctor’s suggestions…he’s able to do 5 mile walks without any trouble. In fact, he seems addicted to our daily walks and has panic attacks when we don’t take him out because of snow or ice.
Not sure how things will progress as he gets older but he’s doing fine right now.
Cartera, I hope your dog continues to improve!
