Hello Friend,
A cheery Monday to you and your family- furry or not!
My dog Jessie is especially achy this morning following a weekend of many walks, jumping, then sleeping on a hard floor..( he has a comfy bed, but his 'friend' Lewis got there first...)
Jessie also now is frequently off balance, staggering with his rear legs, and will sometimes fold his rear paws under themselves ( known as knuckling)
This is indicative of some type of spinal issue, possibly degenerative myelopathy, as well as degenerative joint disease ( the fancy vet term known as arthritis)
He's getting older, over 15 years now, and his body systems are aging as well. ( I get this for it's also happening to me!)
I have given Jessie MANY things over the last few years for his aches and pains.
Fortunately there are many things you can also give your dog for arthritis, spinal issues, back disease.
Some of what I have done.
1. Massage- especially of the back muscles, and the quadriceps
2. Acupressure- he responds to the hip acupressure points, and the Aspirin point
3. Herbs- I have used many herbs, but found that 95% curcumin helped the best
4. Rhus Tox (a homeopathic), has helped when he is very sore after a longer walk- it is best for muscle injuries.
5. Traditional anti-inflammatories. I use these when he is in EXTREME pain, but NEVER long term. I prefer meloxicam.
There is one last 'remedy' which has helped the most, and I always see him decline when I run out of it ( of which I have now, and hopefully my brother Michael has re-ordered some and sent it off :-) )
It's my supplement, Ultimate Canine.
There are a number of different ingredients in it which are clearly beneficial for arthritis/joint/muscle pain.
He is always less stiff while on it, and his rear leg staggering markedly decreases.
If you have a middle aged to older dog with signs of arthritis, then it's something you should try.
