My dog weighs 29lbs. I will start him on the Glucosamine and Chondroitin and hopefully it will help him.Once again, thanks for the info.
When daily oral doses of up to 2700 mg/kg were given in the rat and 2100 mg/kg in the dog for one year and six months, respectively, no anatomical lesions were found in the gastrointestinal system or other organs. The dose given to the dogs would be equivalent to 150,000 mg in a 70 kg human. Most of the recommended dosages for patients with arthritis are about 500 mg three times a day.
I was wondering whether he needed the glucosamine/chondroitin combination because he had no digestive issues when he took Myristin -- which is a CMO(cetyl myristoleate) +glucosamine -- but the only thing is that the glucosamine dosage is much lower, the loading amount only provides 600 mg a day. Can I perhaps supplement it with additional glucosamine (no chondroitin)? Maybe the chondroitin is upsetting his stomach.
m to take Magnesium Glycinate, Glucosamine Sulfat, Joint Support, and CoQ10 30 mg in the morning packets and Magnesium Glycinat, Glucosamine Sulfat, Heart Formula, and Joint Support in the evening packets.
Because these were so expensive I'd prefer to not throw them out; however, I've had them for over 3 years now. Since there is no date...can I still use them? I did contact the company where I purchased them and got what felt like a standard answer of ...
Your mom will need to take 150mg glucosamine for the rest of her life if she has osteoarthritis. It keeps the joints and their connective tissues lubricated, as they dry up as we age.
Some people respond quickly, and others feel no effect at all. There are also exercises that help. The main thing is not to let the joints seize up. Keep active.
It took a few weeks before I noticed a big difference. The reason being these ingredients take time to build up in your system and because they actually heal the areas to some degree it takes longer. I also have to watch my diet and stay clear of foods that I am allergic to that can cause inflamation. If you wish to try it make sure you are not allergic to shell fish (glucosamine) or MSM (from pine tree bark) or Arnica ( arnica montana flower).
I had him on bute tablets for two months as I am also giving him I Glucossamine1500 tablet a day, stopped the bute as dangerous to go more than 3months on them but they gave the Glucosamine a chance to get into the system and that is all he is on now and they are safe, the bute tabs are cheap,a good stand by in the short term. He does not limp anymore as he lives inside he rarely gets cold and pain free.
Make sure he is kept warm that is so important ....
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?
Thank you for the reply.
I was thinking to go to gym and work out slowly to get back to normal as soon as possible I am also right handed so I use the right arm a lot before i couldn't carry a cup or back I try to use my left arm, I don't think there is any drug in the system anymore since i stop 2 weeks ago deca is winstrol is water base thats should be gone and deca is oil base it should be gone too but if i get tested it will show even a year later.
Any substance in high concentrations could cause nausea and vomiting in your dad's weakened state. 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.
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.
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.
I read the question & answer regarding muscle atrophy in hind legs and the information on glucosamine and the omega fatty acids. These supplements are already being administered. Additionally, I walk my dog every morning. Granted, the walks have slowed as he has aged and the distance traveled h as lessened, but he still does get excercise. He reminds me that it's time to walk and appears to enjoy it.
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. It is much easier for her to take. I put her back on a food with glucosamine and she isnt having any problems. I learned my lesson about changing foods.
ive been giving my dog which is 17kg 1000mg of glucosamine every day for a week which i will now reduce to 500mg a day is there any thing else i should give him with this or is glucosamine alone ok my dog has early signs of arthritis in his back legs its a bit of an effort for him to get up now he is 10 yrs 3mths old and had cruciate ligament surgery back in may last yr and in the other leg about 5 to 6 yrs ago
I only notice it at night, possibly I am too distracted and moving during the day to notice. When I have heated the room more - had the heater on during the night in the winter, it seems to reduce it. Even though electric blankets don't change it. It feels like warmth should fix it, as it is a deathly cold in the marrow feeling. However, I think it is drying out the air that helps.
Everyone is different, so whatever works best is what works best. Apple cider vinegar regulates the acid/alkaline balance in the digestive system, and much of what we think we know from it is from a couple of historic figures whose claims can't be even found, yet alone proven, as far as anything else it does. Glucosamine and chondrointon are actually part of healthy connective tissue, so that's the theory behind taking them.
Hi Joanne,
I took Glucosamine Chondrotin and Synthroid without any problems with interactions. In your position, I would ask the pharmacist selling the meds if both drugs would interfere with each other, just to be sure.
I only know you should be careful combining Glucosamine Chondroitin with Coumarins, because it may amplify the anticoagulant effect.
