Glucosamine tablets Hi i have been advised to give my baby Glucosamine tablets or capsules but not sure how much to give him can anyon ehelp me there, The capsules i have are 500 mg so how much should i give him? Tino has Patella Luxation grade 2 |
I think it goes by their weight. What does the bottle say? I saw oline one of them said the first six weeks was one tablet under 10lbs and then after the sixth week 1/2 a tablet onwards. |
it does not say anything on the bottle as i got them from wilkos today. |
I'm really sorry to hear that Luxating Patella has been diagnosed - it was what I was concerned about when I replied on your "Worrried Sick" thread. From what I understand glucosamine won't cure the LP but it may help lessen the incidence of arthritis. Is LP grade 2 high enough to have to consider surgery? |

ask who whether advised you.. Is it the type for humans or dogs? If it is humans I would guess that the dosage would need to be significantly reduced. Like someone mentioned I guess it would be according to weight. Ring your vet and see if s/he is able to advise you further |
i was advised on this site to give it to him. |
Here's the "science bit" on glucosamine sulphate http://www.natural-animal-health.co.uk/glucosamine.htm Cortaflex may be a better and more effective option but PLEASE speak to your Vet before self-medicating Tino with anything. You don't want to compromise his system if he has to undergo surgery for his LP. |
