Thanks for this imfo even tho it wasn'me that was asking.
Come to think of it I have a little 5 lb Apricot Poodle I raised 4 yrs old
who has a knee displasha. her bro also had it and my Vet bought him and later
abt a yr ago got it fixed.
" Sarah" someimes runs on 3 legs but don't let it stop her. I have never heard
her hollor for any pain.
I will have to watch for this. and give her some of what you have here if i
know how much to give her. I take Glucosimine Contrion myself and just found
Syn-Flex with more that just that. supose to be better as has more Glucosamine
than any capsules. ( 1200) Take 1/4 oz a day or 2 times a day. Started on it 3
days ago.
Can send you the link.
Maxine

Dear Ms. Wilton,
In our past researches we were able to gain
excellent results addressing both hip dysplasia and other vertebral insults in
dogs. One of our more successful protocols involved 12 (50 mg) alfalfa
tablets daily (or two heaping teaspoons of alfalfa meal/powder), an initial
course of CMO ( 3 to 6 capsules daily---depending on total mass---for 10
days); a continuing protocol of glucosamine sulphate (2000 mg daily), plus
1200 mg of some form of Chondroitin. Additionally, one heaping teaspoon of
Kelp (powder or granules) mixed into their food will be a pronounced dietary
asset.
DMSO has demonstrated to be a superior support in
rapid pain relief (with increased time-span relief when mixed with standard,
non-toxic, analgesics. If applying DMSO directly to the skin surface, do not
use over 50% concentration without shaving the area of application (blistering
coefficent is too high with more concentrated solutions).
We have never found ANYTHING more beneficial for
long-term dysplasia support......than copious quantities of alfalfa. We have
achieved "near-miraculous" responses in a number of , otherwise, hopeless
cases. We had one older German Shepard (14+) who required 350 mg of Butyl just
for pain management------enabled to go off completely within 7 days of
initiating alfalfa protocol.
Additionally, if you have access to a Beck-type
magnetic pulser, I believe you will find it a splendid ancillary support. We
have documented "localized circulation increases" on the order of maginitude of
400%......achieved within a 60 minute time envelop. This device is equally
effective in cases of trauma resulting from contusions (sprains) and/or
blunt-force inflicted insult.
Take heart, there ARE successful addresses to this
challenge.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.

Subject: CS>Back problem
I have a miniature long haired Dachshund who has developed a back
problem. Over a period of about three days she lost the use of her back legs
due to a ruptured disc.
After two weeks of confinement I bought a small round paddling
pool, filled it with enough water to support her and take her Œwalkies¹
for 20 minutes twice a day.
Over the last week she has improved to the stage where she walks
quite well in the pool and has managed to stand but not walk when out of it.
Her medication (apart from CS in her water) is 500mg of ester vit.
C morning and evening.
Would anyone have any idea if DSMO applied externally would help
her condition or any other ideas for her recovery?
Thanks for listening,
Roger B
