Does anyone know whether this is being pursued in Qld?

That's fantastic for you sandgrubber! Any comments regarding the original post (oral gel) though?

Hi everyone...I've been tempted to buy this product as well but haven't heard any reviews (good or bad) about it...not sure how it would (could) work from a biological point of view? Can anyone advise their results (or lack of results).

I searched high and low for a suitable low-fat food my labrador who had to lose a few kgs. After doing a qualitative analysis on various brands I chose Advance because it ticked all the boxes FOR ME, namely value for money, no artificial preservatives, low (but not too low) fat content, "just right" fibre content and protein was at a healthy level. I had to hand feed her other brands for her to eat them but with Advance I just put it into her bowl and she loves it! Her stools are regular and firm and she has lost weight. :rolleyes:

Just one other thing, I put her back on Mobic (1/4 of a 15mg tablet - once a day). Is it better to give it to her with breakfast or with dinner or doesn't it matter? Thanks, Jon.

Thanks again for the replies. Her injury is undiagnosed as her vet is hesitant to have x-rays done because she's not limping all the time - she only limps occasionally when arising. I'm concerned about her having x-rays because I've heard they twist and bend their legs in all sorts of positions and they come out of it limping worse? I also don't like the idea of her being put under and staying in hospital. I would really like to see a vet who has had experience with this sort of thing. I find it really hard to believe that my dog is the first to be experiencing this sort of situation (it doesn't seem that unique to me)! Has anyone else had this happen to their dog/s? Cheers, Jon.

Hi all, thanks for all the replies. Has anyone else had experience with a dog chiro? Also, does anyone know a good "joint" vet in the Brisbane (Bayside) area? Cheers, Jon.

Hi all, I was wondering whether anyone could shed some light on the possible causes of my 4 year old Labrador limping on her right hind leg after she gets up. She only limps for a minute or two then comes good. It's worse at the end of the day. She seems to be fine during the day and doesn't limp while I'm walking her. She has been on Joint Guard for over three months (third 400 gram tub) and has moments when I think it's making a difference and then she starts limping again. I try to regulate and control her movements (no jumping, running etc). She is on a low fat diet (Advance Light) and has lost 5kg but needs to lose another 4kg. My vet originally prescribed Mobic because she thinks it's arthritic. When she was on Mobic she was good but I'm concerned that this could be masking a more serious problem or making the existing problem worse. I took her off Mobic (after about 6 weeks) and she was good for about 2 weeks. My instincts are telling me to get her weight down and then the Joint Guard will work more effectively. Any advise or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jon.
