My GSD is going to be 8 in September, and for the past few months she has had problems with arthritis of her knees.
There were times where she didn’t want to go a walk, she would put her breaks on and refuse to walk. The fact that she didn’t want to go a walk broke my heart as she was normally a very active dog, she would walk as far as you would take her…
I have been giving/ doing various things to help her pain:
Supplements,
Bioflow collar,
Fish oils,
Reducing the amount of hard surface walk,
Taking her swimming at least once a week,
CSJ herbs,
Lots of off lead walks,
She also gets 4/3 good walks a week and I will let her rest and give her low amount of exercise for the other days.
All of the above seems to be working, as she is like a different dog today, she acts like a daft puppy. Wanting to play all the time, she sometimes even gives the westies a run or their money.
I think I went a little OTT on the things I bought for her to try and help her pain, but I am just so happy that it has helped….
