That doxi was walking fine, with just a small glitch in her rear legs, and she cant go up stairs well....but she is essentially mobile and pain free until her disc surgery can be scheduled in January. After the lady left, I asked the ortho surgeon if he had ever heard of Dasuquin and what he thought about it. He told me he likes it but the stuff he put that doxi on is better and less expensive and the dogs LOVE the flavor....he told me it was Glyco-Flex III...I looked it up when I got home and for all of us that have babies taking Dasuquin, this stuff may be worth a try...it is stronger and it is more than 50% less expensive....I ordered some today for my babies and my brothers collie....each bag has 120 soft chews (it is available in tablets too) and the bag is less than $30.00, from VetDepot.
"Get more joint protection than Dasuquin for your pet for less! Save over 40% buying Glyco-Flex at VetDepot. Glyco-Flex III has 11% more Glucosamine and 25% more MSM than Dasuquin. GlycoFlex offers joint support for dogs, cats, and horses.

Perhaps your mommas little Rudy would benefit from this medication, and she wont have to float a loan to get it! It may postpone surgery, it may certainly help with the pain from the disc issue....it certainly did with that doxi I saw in the vet a month ago and then again yesterday. She and Rudy are certainly in my prayers! |
