Supplements. Feels like a minefield!
Rocky has bilateral luxating patellae, and had surgery on both legs a couple of years ago. Im not convinced there has been much improvement, as the joints still feel incredibly unstable...thankfully, he manages just fine, and doesnt seem to have too much trouble at present. A locum put his foot in it, and suggested that the surgery should have been done differently, and i now agree. Never mind, i wont be putting him through it again in a hurry.

Anyway, he has been on Synoquin for a year. For reasons beyond my control, this had to stop a few months ago, and I started him on Turmeric paste for a while. I can honestly say that I didnt notice much difference on the turmeric, but hes certainly been less keen to jump onto furniture since the Synoquin stopped.
I read somewhere on here about the essential ingredients required in a good joint supplement. Ill find that thread, and add it to this if I can.
ETA:
Dogs suffering with achey joints, struggling with long walks could benefit from using a food supplement. My dog is really old and I wish I had started using a supplement earlier may have given the poor old dog more of a chance. Find one which contains hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin to help aid joint support and repair.
Im led to believe that Synoquin is the only supplement that has been clinically proven to help. And is the only one containing mamalian sources of chondroitin (more easily absorbed than marine sources, such as green lipped mussel), and also contains glucosamine. ...I looked into this over a year ago now, and not sure if these details have changed? Ive just read that it contains Dexahan (highly concentrated krill oil).
Edit: I need to relook at this, I may be getting my info confused - Most joint supplements contain marine sources of chondroitin, including Synoquin, which makes me question whether it may be the other way around! Oops!
There is no additional need for Omega 3 with Synoquin, however. Some like to give this alongside other supplements such as Yumove, and SeroquinAnyway, Im just wondering what supplements others use, and if they have clearly noticed a difference? How? Why?
TIA
