Our Milly who's nearly 14 suffer's with her wrist joint's Maurice, and the vet puts her on Metacam :thumbsup: but my best advise is to get her to your vets, and let him advise you whats best :thumbsup:jasper. said:
Was just on my way to the reply thingy at the bottom,to mention Glucosamine.I gave mine Glucosamine sulfate,but dont wait till they are starting to break down with old age.Megan thinks she is still a pup,and since,well,about 2 months after starting her on them,she is a different bitch completely.Another thing that was recomended to me was Paradox oils.Pretty expensive,at £12 a wee bottle,but well worth the buy.I gave Megan this daily,and 200mg of Glucosamine Sulfate.This substance is what Austrailian Formula gets some of it's great reviews for,as it's part of their ingredients.It is reconed that if a dog is already on the stuff,then when injuries occur,they heal pretty much faster. Ive been on 1000mg a day myself,since having my knee busted in bits by Kirsty's grehound bitch,and it's spot on.Anyway,that's a bit more than my penny's worth. ...Billy...Tommy_Carr said:
If you tell me the weight of the greyhound in question Billy, and the speed it was travelling on the point of impact, I will work out the force that hit you by a simple equation :- "billyboy45 said:
She was 62 lb when she hit me,and was going full pelt after the lure,and did not slow down one bit,as she didnt have a clue that it would be stopping along the line somewhere.She was on top of it,and going to colide with the lure,battery n all,so i stepped in front of it,to try and make her swerve,but she sent me lure,battery n all flying across the field.It wqs only when i eventualy came round,that i knew what happened,and as my leg was bent sideways at 90 degrees,and my kneecap was round the back of my leg somewhere,that i knew this was summit serious.Cruciate ligament snapped,latteral,and colateral's goneTendon snapped.Other than that,i was having a whale of a time.Ohh.Forgot to add,2 great teeth holes in the place where my knee cap should have been,but no longer was,and i had been off the fags for just 4 month's.No,i didn't start smoking again,though the ambulance driver,who picked me up and gave me a nice lift to the hospital,from the middle of the field,had a lovely big fat packet of Embassy Regal in his shirt pocket.When i got through that,there was nothing in the world that would make me start them again.I think the good man above was testing me out.One thing i did find out that day though.There is not a fag in the world,that would even count with that gas n air stuff Geoff.It was flippin great mate.Now i know why women get pregnant.They're smarter than we think.milly said:If you tell me the weight of the greyhound in question Billy, and the speed it was travelling on the point of impact, I will work out the force that hit you by a simple equation :- "billyboy45 said:
