How To Ease The Pain Of Sore Joints In Dogs

If your pet has sore joints, this article can
help you find pain relief for your canine. As
many of you know, my old dog Storm came into my
life in 1995. The vet thought he was about 5
years old at a time. He lived with us for 10
more years before he finally died from old age.
He was a large dog and 10 years is quite old for
dogs of the larger breeds.

We have many interesting stories about Storm
and he definitely has had a profound impact on
my life.

But this article is about Storm's stiff joints
he was suffering from. His sore joints, caused
by arthritis the vet said, began a few years
after I found him on that country road. We think
Storm already had had a "tough" life. But after
he came to live with us, he had numerous times
that would aggravate his joint arthritis. He got
run over by my truck, fell down a 10 foot hole,
and suffered several other "accidents" which
would really affect him in his older years.

The vet suggested we begin giving him a
prescribed medication for his sore joints. We
did a bit of research on the Internet and saw
there were many problems associated with the
Rimadyl medicine. We did not want to risk the
side effects with Storm. So we did more research
and discovered that glucosamine may be just the
thing to help with a senior dog's sore joints.

We ordered a liquid version of glucosamine
online called Syn-flex. We liked the liquid
version because it was so easy to give to him.
All we had to do was pour it over his food at
meal time. Storm, like most dogs, simply did not
care if the product was on his food. It took
several months before we saw the effects, but it
definitely had a very positive impact on his
diseased joints. He was getting around much
easier and we could tell that he was not
suffering as much pain as before.

We continued giving him the Synflex glucosamine
for the rest of his life. As he aged, his
arthritis became worse and we tried a few other
things, like an aspirin a day. But that almost
killed him one day (a true story…he
almost died from an intestinal infection caused
by the aspirin).

Even though his sore joints continued and
progressed as he aged (there is no cure for
arthritis), we do feel the Syn-flex was very
helpful and improved his quality of life
especially in his older years.
