hi can i ask for advice of what i can give Zar my 10 year old colie x, poor boy bless him is starting to be a wee bit stiff in his legs, seems fine within himself still happy and eating regularly and enjoying his walks, i have just noticed over the last few days the stiffness in his legs, he is also due an annual check up at the vets but i thought that id also ask on here if any1 can recommend what i can start to give him to ease his joints? thanks in advance.

Homeopathic Rhus Tox is very good for stiffness. :)

Glucosamine is brilliant for stiff joints, it's very safe for dogs too, both me and my dogs take it. You can buy it in liquid form here.

Michelle, I used to give my old boy these - http://www.hollandandbarrett.co.uk/vf/labels/004961HB.pdf

They worked wonders on him.  My vet actually recommended them to me as several of his clients had seen good results.  Start off with one a day, but I found my dog needed two as he got worse.

Hope this helps
Sandra

thanks Kath sorry didnt see your post earlier :-( and thanks Sandra i will look into what you have suggested much appreciated

Michelle

That's OK Michelle :) Whatever you decide to use, I hope it does the trick.

I use Glucosamine Sulphate with Chondroitin which I got from VetMedic - can't remember the website but they were pretty cheap.

Helen

Anti inflammatories - such as glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, Deer Velvet, Fish Body Oils, Vitamin C with bio-flavenoids and Vitamin E.

Try Metacam obtainable from your vet.

Yep -Metacam is very good and so is Cortaflex - I think that Metacam has to be prescribed by your vet ( might be wrong about this) but Cortaflex can be bought at good pet shops.
