Title: Arthritis/joint supplements
Post by: PollySpaull on May 30, 2016, 12:40:03 PM: Hi all,

Monty is currently doing really well with his hip dysplasia and I haven't seen him limping for a long time.
We're booked in for our first hydrotherapy session next week, so will see what happens with that!
Just wondering if anyone can recommend anything to give Monty in his food to keep on top of his progressive arthritis and keep him supple. I'd like to start something sooner rather than later if it's going to benefit him in the long run.
Thanks all X

Not used on Ollie yet but this seems to be a fav with some COLers, they also do one for us humans too :005:
Might check though as Monty is still youngish, maybe details on there site.

You can buy it here:
http://goldenpastecompany.com/

but it is very easy to make your own.

If you are on FB, then join the Turmeric User Group and have a look through their files - loads of useful info on there ;)

Hope you find the right products for him.

Our vet nurse who is training as a physio also showed me how to do some "range of movement" exercises which have really helped too. Glad to hear Monty is doing well :D

Hi not sure if this still works but Lintbells who make yumove have a 15% discount code at checkout yumol15

Hope this might help someone

I ran out once & after 3 days he wasn't his usual self & 3 days after he was back on it he was doing great again
