we tried other pain and anti-inflammatory and she was getting sick from it so we stopped and she was not taking anything until just recently. Chester took Tramadol for his neck, and I asked vet about it. She said this is the safest to use for pain, even on oldies. So I give her one pill a day, even though I could go as high as 3. She is a new woman, has a spring in her little step. Love it.

Roxy and Belle are both on Tramadol. Makes Roxy sleepy. She is on it for pain until she gets a tooth extracted Tuesday.

It helps Belle walk. (She has hind end mobility problems due to a spinal problem) Both also take Rimadyl.

I'm really interested in hearing more about the Cetyl Myristoleate. I'm ready to just go buy it and try it.


I don't rescue animals because I want to feel better about myself, or morally superior to anyone. The best part of my life with animals is the humility they teach and the humanity the foster.

Flex-a-min, tablets in a bottle at the drug store/grocery stores. It has Glucosamine/Condroitin/MSM/HA and is free of: yeast, wheat, sugar, preservatives, artificial colors. I cut them in half for her, much more affordable than any vet supp. My vet was impressed enough that he recommends it to his clients now.

I get mine at Trader's Joe, i found JOint Support with glucosamine, MSM & chondroitin, once daily controlled release. It is large dose so you can cut according to his weight. I heard you cannot really overdose on those from my vet, so I give them whole, once a day. Lily has really bad arthritis so she gets this and I give her adequan shots every 2-3 weeks, but recently added Tramadol for pain and she moves so much better. She cannot take any Rimmadil or such as her belly does not tolerate it.

trying to find a glucosamine supplement! I did find some at the grocery store, Sundown Naturals is the brand. It does have vegetable cellulose, silica, vegetable stearic acid,, crospovidone, vegetable magnesium stearate. I looked up those ingerdients, and they are all vegetable based and used to bind,preserve...So far Audery has not had any itchy face issues, but it's only been a month that she's been on them. If she starts to get itchy again it will be eliminated.
