hey folks how have you been?
i have a question.
bernie has been diagnosed with hip displasia.
i think we went over this before but i cant find it. sorry for the repeat.
any ways, the doc says plenty of exercise,trim him down a bit,nsaids(for life), glucosamine, and adequain shots.
ok heres where the problems are.
one doc says 8 adequain shots to start, 2 a week for 4 weeks then once a month. another doc says once a month. another doc says 8 to start, then only when needed.
so how do i listen to here? the cost of getting second opinions is getting up there and im running out of $$ fast.
then i hear that nsaids are deadly to dogs no matter which ones you give them. then i here exercise for this is not a good idea either. what gives here on this?
another doc said glyco flex lll is good for bernie cause it has MSM,glucosamine, and condtoiton (sp) in it at pretty high doses.
dear lord this is just to much for me to figure out on my own here. please help. i need to hear from folks whos fur kids have been through this. will bernie beagle still have a chance for a long healthy life you think? im pretty lost on all of this as ive never experienced this before.
