I used Rhus Tox on Brook for a while but I can't say how well it worked cos I had to put it into food and you don't get the full benefit of it that way. He really only has stiffness when getting up after lying down for a while so i didn't feel keeping him on Metacam was worth it but didn't want to not give him anything. He is now on Walthams Mobility Support which he seems to be doing very well on - its basically just green lipped mussel. I did use Dorwest's herbal product for joints(can't remember the name of it now) but that was quite good. I'm about to do a course in alternative treatment for dogs as I find it completely fascinating.

Hope there is something on that course about AIHA Jo.  Anything that might help a bit more...... :-                    

Sheryl:

I have used Rhus Tox it is really useful as a sprain / strain remedy. Also good for dogs / people who suffer Rheumatic pain - the kind that improves once you get moving for the day.  You should be able to get it as a spray - this is the best form to give dogs - just a squirt into the mouth.  Otherwise I break up the tabs and put it in the water at night.

I have used Rescue Remedy for dogs that are nervous travellers and found it to be quite helpful.
