Thanks for all the hlep. I do have a question now that I have researched the OsteobiFlex a bit. There is regular, double and triple strength. Would it be better to give her a stronger one and maybe a lower dosage since there are some differences in the ingredients or should she not have the other? W...

Thanks for all the suggestions. K9Karen, where can I purchase the OsteobiFlex? I have had her on the supplement I mentioned a couple of months and haven't really noticed much of anything. My husband wants to try the Rimadyl but I am holding off for a safer alternative. She was a stray and we "a...

It's been a while since I posted here but my older dog is having some more serious arthritis problems and I tried the glucosomine/chondrotin (human grade) and it doesn't seem to be helping her much. I really don't want to have to use Rimady. I used something different when I had my shelties when the...

I'm really happy the surgery went well for Mickey. Spencer had the same thing done with the ligaments and the groove deepened. With Spencer they let me take him home the same day. They thought he would do better at home with me since he is always with me and upset at the vets office. Best of luck fo...

I don't know if this helps you out but we have been through two luxating patella surgies, different knees. I have a bichon which started with his first knee problem at about 4 - 5 yrs. old. It was 1 1/2 yrs. ago. Our vet tried many things before he resorted to the surgery. He did wonderful afterward...

Thanks, ldvet. I will look into the Ester-C brand. Is this purchased at a pet store and is there a dosage on the bottle? I don't know of Ester-C so I'm not sure where to purchase it from or the strength. Thanks for the help.

Thank you, Karen, for the help. I will pick up the OsteoBiflex right away and try that first for a couple of months. Hailey isn't really bad yet so maybe getting a jump start on this arthritis before it gets a full hold on her will help her out. If I don't notice a big improvement after a short time...

Thanks for the help, Karen. I searched a little and found there to be a regular GlycoFlex, a GlycoFlex 2 and a GlycoFlex 3 which states it's for older dogs. Would that one be a better one to put her on? I don't want to give her something too strong.

Thanks, Davet, Traci and k9Karen. Where can I purchase the Osteobiflex, at any Target or similar store? Also, where can I purchase the Glycoflex? I have some pet order catalogs and can't find it in the ones I have. I want Hailey to get back her quality of life. She had a rough start when she came to...

I have a question about my older mixed breed. We aren't exactly sure how old she is since she came to us as a stray. We have had her about 8 yrs. now and they estimated her then to be around 2 yrs. old. She hasn't been herself, laying around a lot in the past couple weeks. First we assumed it was th...
