Dear Yvonne, German Shepards are notorious for hip dysplasia problems. Years ago we came across an ancillary protocol which worked "splendidly" for us (in fact it saved our 15 yro Shepard from having to be put down). We instigated the use of alfalfa (in tablet form), at a quantity of 1200 mg per day ---for three days---then reduced the dosage to 800 mg thereafter. Within 4 days he could get up unassisted and almost pain-free. Within 10 days he was completely pain-free and continued to be so for the remainder of his life. He lived on to the age of 18 years.....passing on from more natural causes of advanced age----unrelated to his dysplasia. The alfalfa protocol was required as a continuing protocol for the remainder of his life. Whenever it was discontinued for five continuous days, his dysplasia symptoms would start to reappear. We have, since, used this protocol to assist in many cases of articulating joint problems in dogs (my wife and I still have 10....all "throwaways" by considerate humans---7 of which are advanced in age [ 12 or older]......none of which exhibit arthritis. We give them alfalfa (three standard tablets daily for small dogs and eight tablets for large ones), together with glucosamine sulphate capsules/tablets @ 50 mg per 15 lbs body-weight.. If one has many dogs....or is economy minded.....the use of powdered alfalfa (obtainable from any feed store) at the rate of 1 teaspoon daily....mixed into their moisturized-food, has proven to be a most valuable health support. Regarding the lower intestinal tract bacterial affliction......you might consider the following modification: Using a small bulb-type syringe, give the dog an enema solution containing 80% CS (10 to 20 ppm) and 20% DMSO. Lower DMSO concentration to 15% if dog exhibits noticeable stress from tissue irritation. Repeat this protocol three times daily at 4 hour intervals. The odds for bacterial control---using this protocol---are quite high and any side effects quite benign. I wish you the very best good fortune in preserving and extending the healthy and happy life of your beloved pet. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley. Disclaimer. Please remember, we are not veterinarians and DO NOT practice veterinary medicine. These are simply some of the EXPERIMENTAL protocols we have evaluated over the past years.
