Hello! I've been to three vets already, and none of them have any real answers, so I thought I'd see if anyone here has thoughts. My 9 year old Chesapeake bay retriever Maximo has had significant stiffness in his front right leg since 6/18/17 after an 8 mile hike. His xrays were perfect, and...

My 8 year old 40 lb Lasa/Bearded Collie mix named Newman has a partially torn ACL in his back left leg. At first he was not able to use his leg at all and we were certain we should have surgery done to fix it, but we had to put it off a couple of weeks due to travel plans and we knew he would...

This is coming from another thread but I didn't want to hijack it with my own questions. Snowball is ~10 years old. He is, I think, in excellent health, most people we talk to are surprised when they hear his age. I'd never really noticed any stiffness before, other than several hours or so...

I have a 54lb 5 year old female pit bull/staffie. One evening this past september she started limping on her left front leg after playing with her dog friend in a kiddy pool. She tripped out of the pool chasing her friend so I thought she had just pulled a muscle and would be fine in the...

Hello all I am doing research for a natural supplement that will help out our aging loved ones. I have talked with vets and they have said joint, urinary and stomach issues are most common. I wanted to reach out to actual owners and ask you what you would like help with in order to keep our...

hi everyone, I've noticed that Butters is already exhibiting joint problems on our walks, her back legs seem stiff at times and bowed towards the centre, and sometimes she lifts one up, and seems like she tries to kick it out (luxating patella??). I need to take her to the vet to get an xray...

I have a 6-year old Great Dane girl, Leia. She was diagnosed with a MRSA (methicillin-resistant staph) infection, and it's been over 2 months, and the infection doesn't seem to respond to treatments. I guess it all started about 3-4 months ago. One day my brother texted me that she must have...

I'm new to the forum. Hello. We have a 9-year-old black Labrador Retriever named Raven. She was diagnosed as having a "horrific" case of arthritis in her front elbows about a year ago. She's always had a bit of a funny walk and my wife has been giving her glucosamine for years, but the...

My dog has begun to have a weak bark as of a few months ago as if she is hoarse. She used to have such a powerful, intimidating bark (if you didn't know her). She also makes this kind of horf noise every now and then...almost like she's coughing up a furrball. We cannot figure out what is...

Hi, I am the proud owner of a 12-yr-old GSD named Jessie. She has arthritis, hip dysplasia, and spondylosis of the spine in three places. But she has (luckily) a high pain threshold and lots of spirit. One fairly recent development is a sore front shoulder. I suspect she injured it some time...
