Thanks Crystal. I did read up on LP when Gracie was first diagnosed but don't remember reading about supplements for it. Her's has stayed exactly the same since she was first diagnosed around a year old (now going on 6yrs) and from what I've read, often times if its genetic (which I believe to be the case with her) that it might not progress any further. I do watch her weight and her jumping and she is the only one of our 3 who I take on walks regularly so I thought I had her covered. I wasn't particularly overly concerned with Sugar, assuming it was grade 1. Now it kills me wondering if I had had him on glucosamine if it wouldn't have gotten to this point.
