i do rest and take glucosamine and chro… tablets ..

over last year or so, i have been experienceing clicking joint, minly in my ankles and wrists, but have also experienced it in my knees at times.

I am currently taking glucosamine sulphate jointcare tablets and it has worked on my knees, but not so much on my ankles.
Was wondering if it is a condition, or something down to diet.

Also i have never experienced disclocated or broken ankles/wrists, or ligament/cartilage damage.
I must add i am only 19 aswell, and when they do click it is not painfull

My two dogs are at an age where Glucosamine will be beneficial to them. One dog has a limp once in awhile and the other is slowing down. I went to the Pet Supply to find that Glucosamine for dogs costs + for a bottle of tablets! I get Glucosamine for me at Walmart for . I’ve compared the labels of both and found ZERO difference. I ground some up in my coffee grinder and added it into the dogs’ drinking water and within two days, both are playing and running like 2 year olds again. So I doubt there’s any difference. What do you think? Any vets want to weigh in on this? My vet thinks it’s great and if they don’t have any allergies, just continue.

My GSD puppy is almost 9 months old – and I’ve had two vets look at her hips (just standard vet, nothing special. No X-Ray yet, just touch). Both say that she seems fine – she’s large (almost 70 pounds) but she’s skinny for her size (vet and breeder recommendation). I bought her from a well known, and respected breeder with no known hip problems, but I don’t want to chance my baby being in any pain. Is X-Raying the only way to know if I’ll have problems down the road? I feed her large puppy brand food with high Glucosamine product, as well as Glucosamine supplement tablets.

My only concern with her recently, is she stretches her back and hips a lot. She doesn’t have trouble getting up, walking, or jumping into my small car’s back seat. But she does stretch quite a bit more than I thought would be normal. Vets say she’s fine.. am I just being paranoid?
Well, for her bloodlines, I know the most of them were VA and V for Schutzhund(hope I spelled that right). I asked about her half and full relatives from previous litters, and said nothing has come up to their knowledge.

One of the vets said to X-Ray her at 8-12 months, because they could do a new surgery to fix her hips (if needed) so she wouldn’t get HD later on in her life – or if she did, it’d be minor.
