He may not have the enzymes to utilize the Glucosamine like he did before the gastric tube. Glucosamine Hcl is cheaper and it is harder for the body to utilize than the higher quality Glucosamine sulfate.
With that being said, Glucosamine sulfate is commonly use in people who have GI problems because it helps to protect the mucus membranes and heal injuried tissue. It is a very important supplement in IBS, Chrones disease, ulcers etc.,
I feel really bad for you and your dad.

Benefits Hips and Knees, Di Gu Pi, Loranthus Combination and more.
Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatories, such as Rimadyl, or Previcox or equivalent, and Tramadol are helpful in conjunction with holistic therapies.
Dear Daisy,
Every single medication, even seemingly innocuous ones like Tylenol and aspirin, come with a long list of risks and benefits. Trazodone does as well. As physicians, our job is to weigh the risk to benefit ratio in each case based on the special circumstances of that particular patient. Trazodone has a high benefit to risk ratio for most patients and thus considered a relatively safe medication.
As Ellen said, Glucosamine is good but it may take 4-6 weeks to see any benefits. Check with your Vet on the dose. Anti-inflammatories are often used but one may work better than another. Watch kidney/liver function on these meds.an orthopedic bed is a good idea. There is something called a hip hammock that can be very beneficial for a dysplastic dog. Of course, there is always some type of surgery which can be extensive and expensive.

Hello. I'm a 60-yr-old female w/ a laundry-list of medical concerns. I just lost my med. ins. (unemployed 2-yrs. due to ongoing illnesses).

Over the past 10-15 years I have been diagnosed with: Fibromyalgia, IBS, GERD, RLS, Raynauds, Sicca Syndrome, Carpal Tunnel, Peripheral Neuropathy, slight [brain] damage to white matter due to trauma or drugs [Rx's?
I have A Fib and I could not do the stress test with the treadmill so the doctor wants to give me an injection (dobuytamine hcl/250 and sestamibi(2) in order to race my heart to get it up to a certain speed and I am concerned since I have the A. Fib and take medication for it (Diltazam). Is it dangerous for me to have the test??
5 pound schnauzer and has been limping a bit after exercise. I have started giving her 500 mg of glucosamine a day and wanted to know if this is the right dosage?
Faster recovery means you can lift more weight on subsequent trips to the gym. Benefits experienced within 3 weeks of taking protease supplements. Paxiled would you know a good brand to take as this is an expensive supplement.
I just recently started taking glucosamine and Chondroitin to help my knee recover from a dislocated patella. but for some reason my contact lenses have become very dry is that a side effect of the glucosamine??. I have used this type of soft contacts for a long time but never experienced this problem. Thanks.
EPA and DHA. The best source for both is fish oil. Aim for 1,000-3,000 mg total DHA and EPA. That's three to nine capsules a day of most brands.
Take 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate and 1,200 mg of chondroitin a day.
Take 500-1,500 mg of MSM per day. Also take Take 400 to 800 mg a day
of Sam-e. A product from New Chapter called Zyflamend, contains rosemary, curcumin, and ginger that are anti-inflammatories.
My dog weighed 28-30lbs and the correct dose for her was 500mg Glucosamine per day. The vet said the 'human' Glucosamine was fine to use, so long as the dosage was correct for the dog's weight.
So it depends what your dog's weight is, how much you can increase the dose.
As far as I can make out, dogs (and humans too) respond differently to Glucosamine. With some there are great results, and with some, not much improvement.
You could mention this to your vet perhaps.
My dog is 12 year old and has arthrits and the vet told me to use glucosamine. In the summer time he does not need it. Now my dog is whimpering and shakeing, when I pet him he stops. This started a couple of days ago. The weather got really cold fast and I just started him back on glucosamine. Does this sound like the arthrits acting up or do I need to worry? How much glucosamine can I give him? I hate when my dog is in pain, I have had him since I was in kindergarden.
I have always fed them a really good food with the added glucosamine. I just recently changed foods to one without glucosamine. My lab started limping really bad. I went to human vitamin store and got her some glucosamine supplements. I got the liquid flavored glucosamine and the glucosamine soft flavored chew. I know some cannot swallow pills. My dog eats the chews if I slightly warm them. She will not touch the liquid. I would rather put a pill in some meat or something.
Labrador retrievers are one of the breeds that are known to have adverse reactions to rimadyl, and sometimes the benefits just do not outweigh the risks in something like this. What you CAN do is to start giving him a glucosamine and chondroitin supplement. These have been proven to be of great help to arthritic dogs with an occasional dose of enteric coated aspirin to help them over the rough spots.
Please let us know what your vet says.
I take a throid pill every morning. Would glucosamine Chondrotin interfer with it?
