1232362 tn?1333135406 NATURAL FACTORS- MSM joint formula capsules with Glucosamine Sulfate and NOW FOODS-joint support with Glucosamine Sulfate these both come in capsule form, you will have to open the 500 mg capsule and measure out about half mix in with the food or if kitty won't eat it that way mix with tiny amount of water and give via dropper...the usual dosage is anywhere from 150mg-300mg. so experiment with the lighter dose first.
Avatar n tn ginger and glucosamine sulfate will affect coumadin (warfarin) I'm on warfarin and can't take ginger or glucosamine and a host of other supplements.
Avatar f tn I also buy the Pedigree dog food which has one where it has glucosamine in it for healthy joints. Ofcourse ask your vet if Glucosamine would be ok for your dog to take because I don't know if hip arthritis and hip dysplasia is the same thing. I hope and pray your baby gets better.
Avatar m tn Pt. II -- Other ideas are chondrointon and glucosamine sulfate, which help some, don't help others. Some also find help by avoiding foods in the nightshade family. Lots of research to do.

1356964 tn?1302087435 I order these particular ones NOW brand from iherb b/c they are safe for cats...no added salt, sugar, starch, yeast, soy, shellfish or preservatives. the MSM I used 1/2 a capsule mixed with water and given via dropper once a day for a week than cut that into 1/4 for maintenance http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Glucosamine-MSM-Vegetarian-240-Vcaps/16566 and the Slipperry Elm Bark, excellent for coating mucosa too...also in cases of diarrhea/constipation/upset tummy/bladder/bowel...

746512 tn?1388807580 I also treat him with a maintenance dose of Glucosamine and Chrondroitin Sulfate...at 125mg. but for acute stages that dose can be as high as 500mg for a short time..if you are interested in that I can send you the 'safe' brands on the market for cats. this has an antinflamatory action and also helps with the bladder spams. I've read that its not uncommon for a blockage to reacur. Does the Vet have kitty on any medication? here is an excellent article to read. www.
6669309 tn?1462648142 Hi. Arthritis is very common in older dogs and the longer dogs live the more common it is becoming. Nutritional supplements Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate are two substances that have fast become the standard treatment in canine age-related arthritis. These are often sold as a single combined substance in good pet shops and quality supermarkets. Alternatively, just look up "Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate for dogs" on Google and you should find a supplier.
1295500 tn?1272459927 Hi, my questions is I have a 9 year old collie, Sheppard, husky mix dog she's probably about 90 lbs now. She seems to be having a lot of problem with her back legs. Some days she seems fine and other days she can barely get up off the floor and when she does her back legs shake. Right now what's happening is she is holding one of her legs up and walking on three legs.
Avatar n tn At any rate, there are so many remedies for joint inflammation -- MSM, chondroiton and glucosamine sulfate, proteolytic enzymes such as bromelain, quercitin, vitamin C, ginger, turmeric, boswellia, devil's claw, yucca -- I mean, the list is very long. Perhaps the best thing is to buy a good book on natural treatment of this problem since there are so many combinations of options to choose from.
Avatar f tn Try avocado soybean unsaponifiables formulated specifically for cats. (They also make them for humans.) I don't have any particular recommendation for a brand, but one is called Dasuquin. Ask your vet about this approach.
Avatar f tn Other options include omega 3, and glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate. Studies indicate that both seem to act as natural anti-inflammatories. Finally, I have had success sending patients for acupuncture to aid in their pain relief and recovery from orthopedic problems.
Avatar m tn ve seen an awful lot of people get relief from using glucosamine chondrointin sulfate combos along with anti-inflammatories, including my father-in-law, recent studies say it doesn't work. I'm not going to say I believe or don't believe them, just pointing out they're there. I just know that my discs are never coming back, but I'm still able to work out every day.
1360851 tn?1277581906 I wouldn't, it's a very hot herb. Best bet is to buy the caps standardized for circumin. And it's best to combine things, no one thing is that strong naturally.
Avatar m tn In addition, you might consider using a vitamin containing glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. Many have had significant relief on this vitamin.
675347 tn?1365460645 Please does anyone know the dosage of Glucosamine Sulphate for dogs? How many milligrams per pound body weight? Also, is it ok to give my dog the regular Glucosamine (which people take) as it is so much cheaper to buy that at the supermarket, than to get it from the vet, or to buy dog treats which contain it! Thanks for any help or suggestions, anyone. Ginger.
1771664 tn?1317686285 has she been dx'd with arthritis? if not than I wouldn't go giving her anything....IMO the lack of moving is more d/t the weight issue. be sure she is on a WET food if you are giving fiber and she is drinking lots of water, best way to ensure that is add a little extra water to her wet food and the best fiber you can give her is PLAIN PUMPKIN in a can....NOT pumpkin pie filling, just PLAIN pumpkin, add about 1/2 teas to her wet food(start with less is she doesn't like it...
1652468 tn?1302900498 Most arthritic patients have multiple nutritional deficiencies, including lowered levels of vitamins A, B6, B12, and C. Glucosamine sulfate can help. Ensuring adequate levels of minerals such as magnesium and selenium is also important. Finally, detoxification should be part of any arthritic patient’s holistic plan. Most arthritic patients need detoxification from heavy metals such as mercury.
20898027 tn?1590467808 There are some supplements that are supposed to help with joint and connective tissue, such as collagen, glucosamine sulfate, and some others. Others help with inflammation, such as turmeric and ginger. I just don't think magnesium is one of them and if the rotator cuff is torn severely enough you'll probably need surgery. If it's just age and usage, again, you'd probably be sent to PT.
