No symptoms at all. Never carried a leg, limped or even stretched oddly We play ball for about 2 hours per day and there's never been an issue whatsoever. I do have doggy steps for my bed which he uses part of the time. He does jump off the sofa and a bench which I can try to limit. But he's a trim 10 pounds so he's a little bigger than the other Yorkies who are jumping off of high places.

Some orthos like glucosamine and some think it's nothing more than a placebo. Cosequin won't hurt though, so there is really no reason not to give it. Dasuquin is the one everybody is looking at now. |
