Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 .>>>>My present dog is 14 of our years and has just recently developed hip displacia or arthritis. Is there a way to tell the difference? Sheeba is a quarter each of Malamute, Husky, Shepherd and wolf. An occasional crushed aspirin seems to help. She has trouble getting up from a sitting position, any ideas anybody?<<<< Vitamin C works miracles for arthritic dogs. makes you wonder if we people should be taking more...Our old Mr. Jess was so arthritic he could barely get around, when it was suggested that we add Sodium Ascorbate to his food. It made a huge difference in his mobility. That was nearly twenty years ago. Our current Labrador retriever is getting stiff too, and I couldn't find the ascorbate powder - so I got the crystal Vitamin C, which is extremely concentrated. It only takes a 1/4 teaspoon in the food, which he does not even notice. Try it, you will be amazed. Lil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
