If she has X-rays, inquire about how much manipulation they’ll do to her joints. Since Snowie had X-rays, his front limp is much more pronounced. I’m worried they over-manipulated his joints under sedation.
Apparently Manganese is important for joint health. Found in high quantities in mussels. I guess why the green-lipped mussel supplement is so popular. On the raw feeding page I belong to, fresh or frozen mussels are highly recommended.
At Snowie’s underwater treadmill session today, the dog physio said that every dog presents differently. That one dog with arthritis will be limping and crying, and another will show no signs of discomfort.
I totally relate to your worry. I wish I didn’t worry. It ruins everything! Sometimes I dread coming home from work in case Snowie will be limping worse. If my husband, who works from home, mentions that Snowie made a little cry when he lay down, I’ll feel upset the whole night.
We just bought some over-priced dog biscuits with hemp oil. He gets three every night. LOVES them. Not sure they’re working, but I feel better for giving it to him! The dog physio said CBD oil is better, though, and without the calories of a biscuit.
