We did stemcell and golden paste....no issues. Only my OH confused tbsp and tsp.....yellow pooh central.
Seriously though, it may take more time as the stem cell robots need time to work.
I hope you have better news and really check with the vet if paracetamol could be used as an alternative.
I am so sorry

The first one about 9 months and the second over a year.
Hunter had elbow problems but all his joints had problems.

That is encouraging. Rourke has arthritis both shoulders (also a bone spur in one) tendonitis in both shoulders, very swollen left hind hock and arthritis in his front paws and since we stopped Prednisone general stiffness.

I forgot to ask about the Golden Paste! The vet said he didn't need pain killers at the moment, she also said she thought the stem cells are beginning to work but I am not convinced. He is still so very lame and I have to do gentle weight change pushes and he can gradually increase exercise by 5 minutes every few days and a little time off the lead at the end of the walk when he will be quieter. If he is tired cut back the exercise and see her in four weeks. She said he was no better or no worse from when she first saw him, I think he is worse!

Our vet encouraged the golden paste but Hunter was in a really bad situation at the time. Maybe no painkillers as they want to see if the stem cell is working?

Yes, I think that is what she intends, the vet seemed to think that although he was very lame, his joints moved better when she palpated them. They have texted back that I can use it, but will keep it as and when I need it.
Turmeric paste does not last, even in the fridge. It goes off quickly. Better to freeze it in small amounts. But I’d feed it every day, think of how much turmeric you probably eat in one curry. I’m sure regular intake over time will be beneficial. I found this article, which is a good starting point (albeit a lengthy read!) for learning about the active ingredient, curcumin.

I make a batch keep one part in the fridge and freeze the others. I also use organic turmeric and mix black pepper with it as this helps it be digested better.
Do you have a recipe or will you buy it from Amazon?

I had a little hope, which has been quickly dashed, he is very lame. We are off to hydrotherapy in a moment. Does Golden Paste cause some dogs to be sick? Rourke is not a sick dog, but just lately has been sick three or four times, I can't see a reason why.
