2 Devils Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Dr. Lundquist has an office in Vienna, VA. I believe she livs out in Marshall and has opened a rehab pool at her place there. I use Dr. Froeling who is a Equine Vet and she lives in Amissville but is on the road all the time so coming by here is not a bog problem.

MaryP Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I just started Adequan shots with my older BC, Milo. He was having a lot of hip pain recently. We've only been doing the shots for two weeks, but it seems like he's already feeling better. My vet said that he's had a lot of success with them and a friend of mine who has been giving them to her two labs has been very happy with the results. They're not cheap, though.

C Crocker Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Pax, Sorry--hours after I posted it dawned.on me that your were probably refering to Adequan i.a. when refering to the once or twice a year usage! The good thing about both Legend and Adequan is that they go to the trouble spot through the im ( Adequan) and i.v (Legend). Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diane allen Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 One of the better glucosamine/chondroitin products is Cosequin DS. It comes in capsules or chewables. Nutramax makes it, as well as a new product called Dasuquin, which has some additional ingredients; but it is only in chewable and has too much artificial stuff in it for my taste (and apparently my dogs' taste as well - one of three will "chew" them regularly, one usually spits it out and I end up breaking it up on food, and the other just can't make up his mind!). My vet also recommended a product called Duralactin (no, not Deramaxx!!). It is a colostrum product. I think it does help, but I just give it to Ms. Agility Nut 48 hr before competition, and 24 to 36 afterwards. I think it does help her arthritis in front feet. Best of luck, pax. diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloRiver Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Diane, thanks for the heads-up about Duralactin. It looks interesting, and it comes in an equine formulation that is much cheaper than the canine version. A bucket of the equine formula should contain about 185 doses of the active ingredient "MicroLactin" and cause no problems for dogs unless they are allergic to maltodextrin and molasses. Solo won't take chewables anyway, and I can put this stuff right on top of his food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
