beyond frustrated

i have been looking for a supplement for my old girl and her joints.

each and every supp i have found has lecithin in it or soy outright or stevia or liver flavouring or rice bran or or or or ad nauseum.

is there either a homeopathic chew or pill or liquid that you recommend? or a remedy you all use.

i have tried curcumin and ginseng and it's not doing what she needs.

i had found something online and of course, lost the page for a product that had lots of cool homeopathics or at the very least, it didn't have all those additives.

it can be chewable or a pill or a liquid....

but the additives have to be at a minimum.

so far, i've looked at :

glycoflex
nupro silver
nuvet
arthroplex

the only one, so far, that i've found to be the least offensive is hylasport canine....

sigh.

Have you looked at MSM? We give it to our old horses and even the young ones in the winter when the cold is hard on their joints. Here's a little article on it. I don't know if this is the route you are looking to go, but it is an idea. I don't know much about herbal remedies sadly.

yeah, i have and thanks for the article.....thing is, i think there are more ingredients that can be given along with MSM.....

at this point, i'm going to have to look toward the human remedies, so i guess it's off to super supplements i go.....

i had found one....that had curcumin and ginger and msm and all kinds of goodies, without the crap and i cannot, for the life of me, find the site...

I wish I was more familiar with joint health. . . But most of the human ones should work I think.

What about just raw chicken feet? Or are you looking for something more?
I give Lucky chicken feet and a tripe/trachea/gullet mix. She seems to be doing well with it.

[magicre]

they get cartilage and tendon and gullet, etc.

but she's twelve now and a corgi mix with those funny legs.....she's missed the couch when she never did before...and more than just once...

i just think she needs a little more support....but the animal ones that have rice bran in it or soy or artificial flavours....and other crappy things raw feeders don't feed.....grains....can you believe it? oy vey.

Tuffy has been on Flexicose for 5 years now. He has severe arthritis, but gets around remarkably well. Vets often comment on how bad is arthritis is, and yet he really rarely limps. Although his good leg is giving him trouble lately. More likely his hip is getting arthritic. He's had the wiggle as a puppy, indicating hip issues.

I like this stuff, and it seems to help:

Have you tried HomeoPet joint stress? Here's the link: HomeoPet - Joint Stress

And it has arnica which I know is an amazing natural pain reliever. My friend sprained her foot and didnt feel comfortable taking tylenol 3's, so her boyfriends dad who is all into natural stuff gave her arnica oil and she would just rub that on the area every few hours and it did wonders for her.

That package looks familiar, I think my friend may have used that with her burnese mountain dog.
