Gracie, who's large for a doberman, has shown signs of joint problems. At around 9 months, off and on, we'd hear popping sounds coming from her rear lower part of her legs.
She just turned 1 year old, and the popping still doesn't seem to bug her at all. She plays rough with her 4 year old dobe sister. Yet, no cries of pain, etc.
I've read about how Hyaluronic acid helps joint problems. So, I went to a feed store and bought a supplement. Fluid Action HA Powder by Finish Line. It comes in fluid, or powder form. It's for horses, cats and dogs. It also has glucosamine, msn, vitamin b & c, etc.
This is a new form of doseage, as it used to be only injectable. I've also heard from other people with joint problems taking hyaluronic acid, but from other companies.
So, if this works on my dogs, then I'll put my hubby on people form for his back and osteoporosis.
Wish us luck!
