She's been doing good on the Cosequin. Did you look into trying some supplements for her?

I haven't looked into the supplements yet - I'm trying to read everything I can on it, but look at YT first - this is all kind of caught me off guard. I was aware that it may happen - but after a good report from the vet 4 weeks ago - I though we were good...at least for a while. I can't help but feel guilty - I found myself wishing Bridget had a "silky coat" instead of what I think is a "cotton coat". Now all I wish is that her knees wouldn't bother her and feel so guilty for wishing for something so superficial as the texture of her hair.....Not that I love her any less either way.
I have seen "Cosequin" mentioned several times - is this something the vet has to prescribe?
