Should I be feeding joint supplement? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have 16weeks old puppy, His right front leg is broken and his joints sound whenever he makes big movement such as jumping. I'm worried if I should not be feeding him because he's too young?

And to give him anything, which do you recommend between Joint max and Cosequin?

Did you take him to the Vet? If his leg is broken he needs to have a cast on or a wrap.. Joint supplements should really be discussed with your vet since he is so young.

Cosequin is one of the few supps that actually has published reviews behind it, so that'd probably be the one I'd ask my vet about if I were you.

I didn't understand your question about feeding him...can you clarify?

Cosequin, but not for a broken leg.
Is the vet recimmending a surgical repair?
