thank you for being there for us. I feel so much better finding that I can help my dog every day. In every way.
Thank you Doc, another great, informative video to use on my 6 Rescue Chihuahuas.
Thanks
Boswelia is miraculous for arthritic conditions in both humans and dogs.
Excited to watch this when I get home. My 10 year GSD has arthritis or was diagnosed with it.
Hope some of it helps
What if all the natural products are no longer working for the pain. What options are there? Would Galliprant be a better choice when Metacam etc. can't be given because they cause seizure in my 12.5 year old dog?
Great information.
Thanks
TY !
What do you think about Librela or Adequan?
My dog had a bad CCL tear at 8 years old, fishing line surgical repair. She's been on hip and joint supplements with Omegas since her surgery, she is now almost 13. She still gets around ok, mostly just slow being able to get up. Still takes walks everyday, 1-1½ miles/day. Vet recommended either of the two.
Great videos! Just became a subscriber yesterday and am enjoying learning as much as I can!
I'd never give my pooch tramadol even if my vet prescribed it. My Dr prescribed it for ME for two herniated discs in my neck, and it didn't work worth a damn haha.
I can suck it up and deal with the pain, I'm not about to make one of our dogs do the same though if I can help it.
Thanks again for educating the masses!!
Thanks
Veterinary Secrets thank YOU!
thank you!
Thank you so much!
You’re welcome!

What do you think about CBD oils for pain in dogs?
What is you opinion on giving galliprant?
what about dogs that have cushings, are the things you are suggesting safe for dogs with cushings?
I need your help 😢 i dont what i need to do to my dog .. Backleg of my dog is shaking the nerve and the muscles when i went to the veterinary clinic to consult my dog they do some test like CDV but its negative but my dogs back leg keep on shaking 😢😟 hope you read this just asking for an advice please. .. 😢😢😢
At the end, your pup is licking the table surface. My dog does that a lot. What is the significance of licking such surfaces?
Is human glucosamine/chondroitin/msm ok for dogs. I have a bottle but the tablets are too large. Thanks for the great videos.
Yes
Ty dr I’ve sent ur videos to a lot of my friends that r having issues trying to get one friend to watch her pup has arthritis is about 12 & also to get ur CBD oil why r ppl so stubborn her vet wants to put him on prednisone right away I hate that stuff!!! I would like to send her the link for the CBD can u possibly give it to me to send?? Thanks again for all ur help❤🐾❤
my vet just gave me tramadol yesterday 80mg 1/2 i the morning 1/2 evening , glucosamine give my dog diarrhea . i also give salmon oil and green lipped mussel, doesn't seem to work
Respectfully
Many dogs are suffering and moderate to severe pain supplements and NSAIDS won't do much war on drug has caused pain in animals, this is objectively true
I treat my Yorkie with Adequan injections.
Amazing results and thinking of using it myself.
Tramadol side effects include fits. I was put on it and had 12 to 15 fits a day. I would never allow my dogs to have it.
Question; Is it beneficial to give Glucosimine to younger dogs to help prevent joint issues? Thank you : ) My 21 month old Collie is very active and I don't want her to suffer later in life.
Please cn you do a video on dogs getting a dead leg/pins & needles after lying on hard surfaces. I know a quick massage and physio on the effected leg cures it but it can bde alarming to see your dog unable to put its leg down for no obvious reason. Thanks again.
My old dog started having seizures when he was 1 1years old. He's got arthritis too. The vet put him on Tramadol and Metacam and Gabapentin. I always research each medication because I want to try natural remedies first. I told him I will not use Tramadol because of the possibility of a seizure but he said it was fine. Anyway, now my dog is on CBC oil, Taurine, and Gabapentin and he's doing fine. In March he was limping badly all of a sudden so Vet said to give him Metacam. Sure enough, he had a seizure after being free for a year. I stopped it right away. The vet didn't think it was Metacam. It's June now and my old guy hasn't had another seizure since discontinuing this med. I wonder, once he's getting worse and the current meds will not be enough what pain medication will be left for him to give safely. Thanks for sharing your experience with Tramadol.
Thanks for this video! I know someone who has a dog who is 16 and a half years old!! WOW!! Anyway he seems to have arthritis and has taken Metacam. What is your take on Metacam? Also do you think you could please do a video about this for cats? I'm very interested in this for cats! The acupressure is also very interesting!! Thanks
Thanks- generally it is one of the safer NSAIDS, but still has side effects. Yes will do one with cats.
I look forward to the one on cats! :)
I never heard anyone using Metacam for long term . Not recommended for more than 5 days
@@champagnemls My beautiful White German Shepherd boy had bone spurs in his elbows. The Emergency Vet wanted to amputate his front leg without any other option. The Vet said to try a cocktail of meds first. He was on Tramadol, Metacam and Gabapentin for over a year. But he developed side effects, water surrounding his heart and died in May 2021 because of covid restrictions 5 meters in front of the emergency entrance because we couldn't get in fast enough. We came from the Vet who sent us there but it was too late for my sweet boy. He was 11 years old. After that I'm always researching every medication and try to find natural remedies first or the ones with least side effects. But, he was in obvious pain and we had at least one more year with him and he was loving life until his last day. So if it's the only option to help my dogs, I will give them all the meds they need.
What do you think about adequan. We just started injections on our 8 year old Shar Pei...we use turmeric, fish oil, and green lipped muscles...
Good option
Same here just started on adequan on my 11 yo cattle dog she has a ruptured ccl and we also alternate giving her natural joint support from 4 leaf rover it’s a blend of eggshells membrane, green mussel Peoria and curcumin powder and cosequin . If you don’t mind me asking which supplement do you use?
Tramadol made my already aggressive dog, more aggressive. It was prescribed for pain after her spay procedure.
Good to know
If you don't mind, I have a question concerning glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM. If a dog has heart problems, is it safe to give him or her something with those three supplements in it?
Safe with heart disease, but I would be more focused on treating the heart condition
@@VeterinarySecrets Thank you very much for the response. I have my dog on CQ10 (ubiquinol).
My 16 yr old had a HORRIBLE constant heart cough. She’s on mobility and cardiac chews and glucosamine treats - No more cough
QUESTION. Unfortunately I am already spending 1/5th of my tiny fixed income to buy my dogs food. I have had him on the best his whole life. there isnt anything left to be able to consistently buy him these different things. SO I had already figured out to give him Tumeric with some pepper a few years ago and have given it to him religiously all this time. ( I basically give him what works on MY arthritis and so far so good) I add coconut oil, olive oil and blue green algae. All of these things I can buy for him with my food stamps....THE problem is that I basically have had to guess with my gut how much of what...I have been able to find some amounts of certain things here with the Doc ....BUT the Tumeric I am starting to want to know in perhaps tablespoons how much to really give him. He is getting older and I dont have as much confidence in "guessing" ....Anyone can refer me to a video or info from Doc about amounts.? This is the only online vet I totally trust.
Hope you both are still doing ok. My Lady and I both suffer for severe arthritis and I haven’t worked since October last year but worked double time during pandemic and just wore myself out my dog of 16 years My darling dear sweet Maxx died during this time April 2021 . I miss him soooo much. Now is me and Lady her hind legs went out and it extremely difficult to take care of her I’m doing everything I can to get her to walk again I begged her vet for her a round of pedisones steroids. She’s on 3 types of medicine which is doing nothing. What do or did you take to help yourself and dog. Thanks
can a 32 pound dog take one tramadol 50mg pill
I forgot to note, Tramadol caused peripheral edema in my lower legs. The doctor thought something was wrong with my heart. After a little research on my own, because I knew the only change was that I started taking Tramado.l you know those paper pamphlets they give you when you get your prescription? Well, clear down at the bottom, "Tramadol should not be taken by women over 60, because it can cause peripheral edema", my doctors didn't even know that!
I don't go to Doctors if at all possible. And, this is one reason for mis trust. Where my Mother was receiving geriatric care, the people would come in with their suitcase full of drugs. Free samples also for the patients. The Docs were all good natured and got patients scheduled every 30 minutes. I never forgot the experience of helping Mom to get to her appts. But, for me NO THANKS
Hi Dr Jones!
I was hoping you could help me with this problem. I my dog rhus to as you suggested for arthritis. I gave her three pellets in the side of her gum. She immediately started breathing heavily and about a minute later got up and drank a lot of water! Was she having a reaction? I thought homeopathic items caused no side effects! Please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong since I'd like to be able to use these. Thanks for your help
Hi- very unusual, but I suspect some dogs react. You can try again with one and see
Veterinary Secrets thanks for getting back to me! She's on many prescription meds and also supplements. Could it have been an interaction with any of these?
For the fish oil, is it really 1,000 mg per 10 pounds of body weight?
Yes at high doses
@@VeterinarySecrets Okay, thank you. I was just making sure. I have salmon oil.
Hi dr. Jones, my dog has been suffering with hip dysplasia and he’s getting a grayish color on his eye looks likes he’s losing eye sight. He’s on medication for his hip dysplasia and I bought him glucosamine and turmeric snacks for his bone health. I don’t no what else to do to help him at home.
It’s hard for him to get on his legs to move around, this year has been the worst for him.
Hi- Consider higher doses of the 95% curcumin and boswellia
Veterinary Secrets what do you think of this product called synovi g4?
Our 2-yr old Golden Retriever was diagnosed with Immune mediated poly arthritis after ruling out several tick borne diseases and having a joint tap. He was on Rimadyl then Prednisone. He lost muscle tone but gained weight from the steroids but his arthritis symptoms remained. We slowly weaned him off, very very slowly and he was wonderful and back to his puppy self for a year. Now he’s back to limping and barely able to climb up or get his back end up without a struggle. Wondering what your thoughts are? We don’t want to put him back on the drugs but it’s hard to see him acting so old when he’s only 3.
Hi- 1st I would wonder if x-rays of the joints are showing bony changes?..ie cartilage wear and secondary new bone. Regardless, the top 2 options would be 95% curcumin at 100mg/10lbs daily, and Boswellia at 50mg/10lbs daily
my little jack russle has a limp in her front paw so i will be getting her on turmeric and also i want to know do i keep giving it to her even if she starts to feel better
My Vet prescribes rymadol (sp). He has an arthritic right knee. I need something different. It doesn't seem to bother him all the time just on occasion. Will that accupressure point help with his knee? Thanks!
It may and is worth trying
Enjoyed watching Pipi lol. Tramadol isn't no good for humans neither. I have arthritis in several joints and bad in my knees and all the arthritis medicine did was mess up my stomach to where I couldn't eat without feeling sick and lost a bunch of weight. I take Glucosamine every day but think I'm going to try fish oil and the other supplements you recommended to see if it helps me too. Just Glucosamine isn't helping my pain.
Remy boy and his Mommy, look into Coolief for yourself. I did and it helped.
Thank you. I will.
I have 14 year old chihuahua .. he is now due to rabies again. Is it necessary?
Definitely not- more info here: www.rabieschallengefund.org/
Veterinary Secrets oh thank you!!!
Gabapentin makes my dog drunk,,wobbles and falls,
What about CBD oil , does it help with arthritis or pain for dogs? It seemed to help my senior dog a lot before he passed away. The Rick Simpson oil totally cured his leg tumor ( it was identical to the mast cell tumor that killed his litter mate, I wish I'd found out about RSO before he died) The tumor that was treated with RSO completely disappeared & never came back (& it was big) . I wish more studies would go into RSO & CBD oil. Barkley really seemed to like the RSO.
Hi,
I concur- just it's only available in a few areas.
Veterinary Secrets ,oh yeah that's true. In Washington state where I'm at its legal. It's helping a lot of pets & people. I just hope pharmaceutical companies don't destroy it with GMO's
Is hydrogen peroxide safe for cleaning dog wounds?
Hi, it's not really effective- better to use black tea or chlorhexidine
+Veterinary Secrets ok doc, What if it wound is deep and has maggots in it? i have seen people using ivermectin to kill maggots.
Pippi is still all puppy. :)
:-)
DMSO
Yes as well Barry
If Veterinarians were more reasonable in their prices then I believe more dogs and cats would have homes.
Good point
