Ross is a German Shepherd cross who was diagnosed as having severe
hip displasia and arthritis in 1998.
We have been giving him the green-lipped mussel extract since then.
So far, his lameness has greatly improved, although the damage already
done to his hip joints cannot be reversed.
His back legs are giving him a bit more trouble (July 2000), and
we are now trying a new treatment from Australia, called Pentosan 100.
About 6 months after the treatment he is still running around like a mad
thing. About a year later (Winter 2001) his legs were playing
up again, so he has had another course of Pentosan. |
