Re: An Arf-Arf Here and a Meow-Meow There... E I E I O!
Zsa Zsa is fourteen years old, which is ancient for a dog her size, and she's had some joint issues with her hips for quite a while now. So we got her on this Adequan stuff for the arthritis, and it's seemed to work well.
But she hates getting the shots and I hate giving them to her, so we let it go too long this time, and she started deteriorating. Her hind legs were failing her pretty quickly. She was having a hard time standing up for long and was moving around noticeably less.
So I got brave and gave her her shot again, and it's crazy how much better she got right away. She's not 100% by any means and we don't have to worry about her jumping the 6' fence anymore, but she was instantly better.
I know it's not going to keep working forever, but this stuff is seriously pretty magical. So if you have an older dog with joint problems, ask your veterinarian about Adequan®.
