Libby was diagnosed with grade 2 LP in both back legs and that was before she was a year old. I started giving her Flexicose and she has not had any problems in a long, long time and she turned 3 today. My vet told me to not let her get overweight because that would add stress on the knees. She is as fit as a fiddle and runs, jumps and plays with no problems. Flexicose is a liquid glucosamine complex and I think it's wonderful stuff. I used to get mine at the Flexicose site, but now I buy it on Ebay and get it much cheaper.
Good luck with your little sweeties! I do think a glucosamine supplement would be a good thing to start with them. Hopefully you will have the same results as I have had with Libby! |
