Gosh that sounds amazing. I am going to get some turmeric & make this recipe up. See how we go. I'm going to start taking it as well. I am riddled with Osteo arthritis too. Do you buy the Turmeric from a health food store?

Had to edit my post as I was suggesting a limited slip collar but if they are prone to larynx probs I would maybe looking at a light harness. You may need a Webmaster one as they practically escape proof.

It is really surprising how hot the ground actually gets. I have put my hand on the path surface on a warm day & the heat it throws off is amazing really.

Gorgeous sunset Teekay ☺

Thanks for the link Lisa. I will ring the Vet tomorrow to find out if I should start them now as we are going away for a month next month. See what she recommends. Had to edit. Hopeless speller lol

Sorry kirty I just had to edit my original post as I do give him 1/4 Tramadol twice a day. I think I will organise a Cartprophen shot. How long do they last. A month?

Thanks guys. It is very upsetting to see him in pain. He is such a fabulous boy. Beautiful temp. I just adore him. I had big plans for him. Agility etc. not to worry. He has/ will always have a fun activity filled life, just have to monitor his activities so he doesn't over do it. Lisa, the Kiwi Peak has green lipped mussels in it. That is one reason I swapped over. It has really beneficial ingredients in it. Neither of my guys will eat offal & KiwiPeak has 10% offal in it which is really important for my girl who is Epilepsy effected. Yes I have a double whammy as both of my dogs have horrid health issues sadly. Black jackel. Sorry to hear you have a young dog that is Arthritis effected as well. It's a horrible thing to happen in a young energetic otherwise healthy dog. Yes it is very hard for them & for us to witness. Thanks for reminding me about the Back on Track coats. I think they may help too. Will put some money away for one. My Vet is an Holistic Vet so she also our acupuncturist & she also does massage. I love her she is terrific. So she has showed me how to lightly massage Sonny's hips. I must ask about those Cartprophen injections as they may be more effective than the tablets. Hope your dog is going ok & not suffering to much.

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has thoughts/advice. Sonny who is only 6 has early onset Arthritis in his hip joints. At the moment I have him on Carprophen 1/4 tablet once a day. Tramadol 1/4 tablet twice a day. I have upped the Tramadol a little of late to help take the edge off. Plus he has Rose Hip Vital & Natural Animal Solutions Omega 3,6,9 plus vit. E. He has an excellent diet. 75% raw plus Kiwi Peak venison & fish. Eggs, raw fish, yoghurt & fruit etc. The last few days he is showing signs of significantly more compromised movement in his hind area & is reluctant to move at times. He will 'bunny hop' his back legs when he has to do stairs. I can just tell he is in more pain lately, poor boy I am reluctant to up the meds much more than I have at the moment being still a relatively young dog I'm worried if I keep increasing his meds now by the time he is in his senior years I will have run out of options for pain relief for him. I have just brought him some Liquid Health K9 Level 5000 Glucosamine today & am going to trail him on that to see if he shows any signs of improvement after a month or so. Questions being, is there anything else I can do for him ? I hate seeing him in pain. I give him a massage morning & night which he loves. He is due for another Accupuncture session so I am going to book him in for that. He is also reluctant to sit on command at times & stand on 3 legs when I do his nails so I know it is really bothering him. Any advice would be appreciated. TIA :)

Delta Charlie, thank you so much for the heads up regarding this product & thinking of us. I had no idea it was unsafe to use on girls like Stella. I was just thinking the once a month & water safety advantages. Will stick to the Advantix then. Apprectiate that :)

So very sad & extremely difficult to let go of something you unconditionly love & cherish but it is also a very selfless thing to do so. Beautiful tribute to an obviously much loved family member & best friend... made me cry. Rocky was a very fortunate boy to have had such a loving family. He is pain free now in a peaceful place. Rocky will never "be gone" though as he will always have a special place in your heart & all those fond memories of him Be kind to yourself through this difficult time. Gentle hugs to you

So sorry to hear that miss Saffy lost her foal Saffy & Tiny are just so adorable :love: They certainly are good doer's, little fatties alright :laugh: The littley's always have lots of attitude don't they?

Oh looks very beautiful. Thats the same box as Redman has only I picked cedar timber. Redman was a serverely abused gorgeous boy that I rescued from under a house where he was kept 24/7. I too was also coming from a very dark place. Some things really do happen for a reason. His inscription says "Out of the darkness into the sunshine" Together Redman we helped each heal other heal to create a life filled with love,contentment & happiness. Never far from my thoughts Red. Always in my heart. R.I.P. my sweet,sweet boy....

I love this thread too. How could you not love it??? Gorgeous dog & such dedicated owners. Gotta love that.. ..☺

Beautiful shots as always. Ronin is having a blast. Great healthy exercise too.

Oooo beautiful pic of gorgeous baby Ronin ????????????

Don't worry Sal the text will come to you. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what to put on my heart boy's plague that was to be fixed to the front of his beautiful hand made cedar box I had his ashes put in. I was in tears, again, about it. Then next thing it just came to me when they actually rang & wanted to know. I just said exactly how I felt & it was perfect. Even almost 9 years later I still wouldn't change a word of it

Oh my dog !!! What absolute little stunners...just beautiful Bjeliker. Totally adorable. I would be cuddling those little treasures all day long. Thanks for sharing :)

My dogs have had their Ezydog ones for years now. While they do the job & are very well made I too prefer the look of the Ruffwear ones.

So pleased he has been found. Hope he heals asap... ☺

Yes Yonjuro had better get that baseball bat out of the cupboard in preperation for your gorgeous daughters dating years LOL Such a pretty girl.

Gosh lovely family photos. Ronin is a beautiful boy ☺

I got Stella the pink camo one. She does look ever so cute in it.

I think we got ours from Waggle.com.au. I brought their Ruffwear boots from waggle as well. They are great to deal with.

Both my guys have one of these life jackets. They are quite bulky on but I think you could go down a size for cute Odie HD. The pic looking over the top of Odie it looks ok. But the front on pic it does look a bit big. It's also very long & is the same length as her top line. Ours aren't. They are a bit shorter.

Great idea persephone :)
