When my big brother Skyler died my arthritis got suddenly very very bad. After some time, as it continued to get worse, my mom chose a homeopathic remedy for me. Mom and Dad also changed my diet to 1/3 dog kibble, 1/3 fresh meat, and 1/3 fresh vegatables. They also changed my glucosamine/condroitin supplement to one called GLC1000. I have to walk a lot now too where before I just ran everywhere. I miss running after my ball. I started getting better and now, after about 6 months on this new regimen, I have lost 9 pounds (even though I eat more than ever), can walk up and down the stairs much more comfortably and can run again! I don't run as much as I used to but mom says I run more smoothly than I ever did. Running is great! I have hip and elbow displaysia and had my back ankle broken when I was a puppy. No-one cared for me then so it never healed properly. All this made me run with too much weight on my front legs, and that caused more trouble with the front paws, especially since I am so powerful. Now I'm lighter and can use my back legs more. I like running. |
