willman Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 My just over 4 year old boxer has just been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. After several months of intermittent lameness we had him x rayed and this was the result. Restricting him to lead walking is never going to happen,so we have removed sticks and balls from his walks and we're trying to encourage him not to race with the lurchers(like that will happen). So metacam forever, just got him some human glucosamine and chondritin(4.99 for a years supply), so i may even look to buying CSJ food which also has it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth13 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Give CSJ a ring, explain the condition, and i am sure they will have lots of advice in regards to food to help you, and probably some supplements for joints etc. Sorry to hear about your boy. Hopefully it'll be manageable relatively easily and he can continue a wonderful life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's lovely, and also good for advice (gave me a supplement sample to use on an old foster dog to help remove plaque from his teeth). Telephone 01142378545 or mobile 07974494760.

twibstix Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I have a dog that was diagnosed with hd at 18 months old, he also has other medical problems that should have killed him long ago, the vet said he would not reach 8, he's now nearly 11!!!!! He had hydro sessions and, when he is feeling it, I walk him on his harness. I was advised to do this as by encouraging him to pull, it uses the muscles in his back more than his back legs but encourages muscle build up around his joints. He rarely has metacam due to the side effects of long term use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
