| Glucosamine for Arthritus When my 12 year old Squirt had his annual checkup, the vet said that he had arthritis. A sign of the pain he was experiencing was standing still when I would carry him to the back yard. The vet suggested giving him glucosamine. She said that it would take one month to notice the change. It's now been several months, and I can't believe the difference. He jumps over the puppy barriers I setup, and onto my bed (it's a high one) when the pup is annoying him. Oh, and I started taking it myself, for pain, and I'm pain free. |

| I use to give this to my siberian husky when he started showing signs of arthritis...and it worked wonders. My husband thinks i'm a miracle worker cause the husky lived for so long.

As soon as I get a suitable replacement, I'll change it. Unfortunately, it's hard, in the avatar, to tell it's a cup. | |
