Guest guest Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 I'd add MSM to his diet. I'd also look at switching to a raw biologically correct (for dogs) diet. My cat is raw. Lot's of purified water too. Canine Arthritis Relief Formula 4 Rosemary 5 Lavender, angustifolia 4 Chamomile, roman 3 Marjoram 2 Juniper 2 Cypress 1 teaspoon Trauma Oil (infused arnica and calendula) fill 2 oz bottle with these oils and fill the rest of the way w/ a light carrier oil massage on area This blend can also be sprayed if that works better. Don't add the Trauma Oil- just spray on mixed w/ distilled water. A simple pain formula is: 10 Lavender 5 Peppermint 1 teaspoon infused arnica/calendula 1 /12 tablespoons almond oil blend and apply as needed Good luck!!
