Hooch is all done, did fine...but he has "severe hip dysplasia"

and really bad arthritis in knees too. Starting adequan for long term and deramaxx just to make him comfortable for now.

what does the ester C do exactly?? heard of it but not sure what

I have heard of Ester C.
does it just kinda build up the immune system better?

aww....I hope those 2 meds keep him comfy!!!!! Meaty sends ((hug

And may I say that I use this because of YOU....

you were the one that got me started on the Ester C for them.

Yes, actually I have.....

and the vet approved of it too. She likes the fact that I am trying to keep him off of Deramaxx.

Oh, vet mentioned he was trying to maul techs...guess he

isn't too happy there. Poor baby. He gets so stressed.

Great news about the surgery!

Not so much for the hips but, I believe, a lot of bullies live full lives with this condition. Give him a smooch for me when you pick him up tonight!

I will have to look that up...thanks, Annie...Winnie did

well on Adequan too but started it at age one.

Cain is the same way....

severe knees and hips. He does really well with Adequan, phenocain (pain management). I don't give the Deramaxx as long as the phenocain works.
