My pup with severe hip dysplasia had surgery...I did not choose to make her wait to see if a supplement would fix it. At the point that a pup has severe hip dysplasia there is nothing to fend off. She was in pain or I would not have known that she even had it...so she had surgery immediately. She still has it in the other hip but nothing is going to fix it .. it is not causing issues now but if it does, surgery it will be.
We each must do what we feel is best for our pups. Not saying it is wrong to use these supplements...just saying that I have made a decision based on the knowledge that I have not to use them. |
Oh I don't think a supplement takes the place of surgery I just think they help when surgery in not necessary. I am sure it doesn't work in some dogs and humans I know I noticed a difference with Callie but that doesn't mean it will work for Sammy.
