Arthro-IonX

My 13 yr. old Lab Mix (73 lbs) having diabetes now for over 3 years and on 38 units of Novolin 70/30 twice daily also worse. He has a terrible time walking now as his back legs are so stiff, he can’t lift himself. I see his feet are cupped and I have to straighten out his feet before he attempts to walk in a very unstable fashion.


Dog in Pain

My tea cup yorkie Daisy jumped off the top of my 3 foot couch. She cried for a little bit but doesn’t move very much she just lays down where I place her and when she does walk she doesn’t use her back leg. She keeps it in place and doesn’t use it at all. What should I do?


Dog in Pain

My dog is having trouble walking one day and then she is fine the next. She can’t get up and when she does she whines a lot. What can I give her for her pain that will not hurt her?


Bursitis

I have a yellow 5 yr. old male lab diagnosed with shoulder bursitis. I have been giving him buffered aspirin and msm/glucosimine. Would this product help with this condition? The only other option is a cortisone shot that I do not want to do.


How Much to Give?

My Great Dane is 127 lbs… how much of the Arthro-IonX do I give her daily?


Dia-IonX

My 11 year old lab has been diabetic for 18 months and is on insulin twice a day. Will using this product reduce the amount of insulin we are giving or just regulate her sugar better?


Hip Dysplasia

I just made an appointment today to have my daughter’s 18 mo old retriever put down. I came across your site while researching hip dysplasia. Her dog has the same symptoms in regards to getting up the stairs. It’s almost exactly what Sadie is experiencing. I’m wondering if this product would do as it promises. I can’t stand to watch her in pain. Is it worth my money?


Arthro-Ionx

My dog was given a steroid injection and isn’t supposed to be on any non-steroidal pain killer until the steroids are out of his system. Is this safe to give with steroids in his system or do I need to start him on this after he’s clear?


Arthritis/Skin Care

I have been using these two products for 35 days (half dose the 1st 25 days) on my 15yr. old Siamese and Oriental short hair. They are litter mates. Chauncey (Oriental) has had Diabetes off and on over the last 3 yrs. Three times it has lasted for 2 to 3 months and then his sugar levels off on Lantus.


Demodectic Mange

We recently took our 8 month old French Bulldog to the vet and we were told she has Demodectic Mange. What do you recommend as treatment for her skin and immune system?
