Even though there is no way to predict if the LP will progress, I really hope it doesn't. His favorite activities are running and jumping  . Should I start him on Cosequin? The vet did not suggest any supplements or doing anything different. I don't want to give him anything that is not necessary... |
LP1 is usually indictive to an injury......I'm sure you've been told not to allow him to jump and keep his weight down.....Definately start him on Cosequin....The one for cats is the correct dosage for dogs.
