When nails are too long it can affect the whole gait, and yes, put strain on joints and ligaments. The best thing to do is not to ever let the nails get too long in future. The strain should ease up in a few days, and in the meantime, don't put him through any particularly strenuous, or athletic movements. Just gentle exercise, like walking. No agility, or leaping around if it can possibly be avoided. Then things SHOULD heal naturally, and get back to balance.
Glucosamine and chondroitin are very good for joint health...even better if you can find a combination with MSM in it. I have never heard any negative things about it or interactions with any meds. Always check with your local pharmacist if concerned about any interactions with supplements, herbs and meds.
Hi. Supplements to a dog's diet such as Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate, Omega Fatty Acids, Vitamin E, Selenium, and MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) all assist in decreasing inflammation and improving the body's ability to repair and strengthen tissues. Supplements, however, will not reverse structural changes in a joint such as torn cartilage, calcium deposits and advanced scar tissue.

At my work (agriculture supplies) we have a formula for horses.
50ml dose
Glucosamine is HCI (10,000mg)
Chondroitin is shark cartilage (1,000mg)
MSM (2,000mg)
Boswellia (4,000mg)
Yucca (500mg)
a one liter bottle is $40 and would last almost a year at 750mg glucosamine doses.
My question is can I use this for my dog, are the supplement ratios okay?
what supplements should i take for joint pain especiallly creaking neck pain would oils help ?cod liver oil?
I take anti-inflammatory (boswellia serrata, turmeric, sea buckthorn oil) supplements for pain and glucosamine with chondroitin for my joints. Juicing vegetables also helps.
I purchased some rather pricey vitamins which have no expiration dates. It's an individualized system where I'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 have an older gentleman, overall good health for his age. I am looking for recommendations for a good joint supplement to help ease arthritis pain. Any suggestions would be welcome, just want him to be more comfortable.
t do any harm is to start her on Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplements. This really works, and is completely natural. (if the arthritis is not TOO bad, the Glucosamine/Chondroitin can work wonders)
You could ask your vet's advice about this, and about the correct dosage (I would give her the maximum for her weight.) But ask advice first.
After discovering that my arthritis is linked to a 'stealth pathogen' (tiny mocroscopic organism) that became active after a surgery, it could be that the surgery exposed you to something - it may not necessarily be the implants. Now I know about it I'm taking supplements to kill the nasty pathogen and hope to be back to my mobile self very soon. Already feeling a lot better.
good luck.
Hello ScalpMassager,
Glucosamine and chondroitin are part of normal cartilage. Cartilage acts as a cushion between the bones in a joint. When these supplements first became available they were even suggested by physicians.
Many people take glucosamine and chondroitin, alone or together, for osteoarthritis. Some people believe this helps - and I am delighted you are one of them.
Hi,
The basic steps in the treatment of hip arthritis are – reducing body weight , limiting motion , use of walking aids , physiotherapy , use of anti – inflammatory medications , and joint supplements – Glucosamine . Please consult an orthopaedic surgeon for the management plan .Surgery is the last resort if the above mentioned measures do not provide relief . Hope this helps you . Take care and regards !
I have Fibromyalgia and find that taking supplements helps alot. Especially Essiac - an old American Indian remedy. You can get it from a health food store or from HCBL 1-800-544-4225. Hope it helps you, too.
Just wondering if it is safe to take glucosamine chondriotin with my levothyroxin?
