I started out (5mg) a day and I eventually worked my way up to 3 pills (30mg) a day…I have been taking 30mg for about 8 months now..
When I decided enough was enough I told my self Id work my way down…So the first day I took 2 pills (20mg) and really didnt feal any bad symptoms coming about. So I thought Id just go cold turkey on day 2…im on day 4…3 days without any methadon at all. On day two of no methadon the symptoms of withdraw started to come at me. My bones felt like I was 80+ years old, my boul movements where very soft nasty looking…and I couldn’t sleep more than 2-3 interrupted hours that night….
Im on day 4 of detox and day 3 of total cold turkey, I have found that glucosamine helps relieve my pains to an extent for now.. I try to eat regularly and drink fluids to keep my body in good condition..and yes I almost have to force my self to eat these meals…My boul movements are still very uncountable.
I was wondering how long will these symptoms last? My attitude is very depressing but with the lords help I know he can get me through…Anyone have experience with this? Any help would be appreciated…

It started about 1 year ago very mildly and it has gotten progressively worse in the last two days (of course, a holiday weekend and today seems to be the worst I have seen). I have been helping her outside to urinate and poop, but she doesn’t understand that’s why I’m there, even when standing in the middle of the pooping section of the yard. She just starts to sniff around and then looks at me like, excuse me, I need to go so please leave. I’ve been elevating her back legs (very slightly) with a towel wrapped around her mid-section and she pulls along with her front legs. She has incredible front end/body strength. She seems happy, eating and drinking well. She even stretches and crawls across the living room floor to get to her toys and plays with them. She is on glucosamine and an aspirin 325mg twice a day. My only issue and problem is the cost of a vet visit for pain medications. Our guinea pig had a health problem and exhausted our funding for just about everything. I don’t want her to hurt and/or suffer. She hasn’t given me the "sign" that she’s done with this and ready to leave us yet. Do you have any advice for OTC medications I might be able to give her to ease her pain and keep her from hurting?

Generally in good health but she’s been slowing down for a year or two now, and is often stiff and sometimes struggles to climb on the sofa.

My friend (who is a trained Vet) advised me to use Glucosamine Sulphate, Evening Primrose Oil, and a Multi Vitamin supplement. He also advised me to use the Holland & Barrett versions as they are much cheaper!

The trouble is, I’ve bought the GS in 1000mg tablets, the EPO in 1000mg tablets, but my friend is away for a couple of weeks, so I’m a little bit stuck.

I hope someone out there can help me…..!

Please help? http://www.glucosaminehealth.com/15-month-old-rotweiller-with-hip-dysplasia-please-help/ http://www.glucosaminehealth.com/15-month-old-rotweiller-with-hip-dysplasia-please-help/#comments Sun, 13 Mar 2011 07:49:56 +0000 admin http://www.glucosaminehealth.com/15-month-old-rotweiller-with-hip-dysplasia-please-help/ My fifteen month old female rotweiller was recently diagnosed with hip dysplasia. If anyone has any suggestions on how to help her recover from this condition. I don’t want her to have surgery as she is too young & it may not work. I have put her on glucosamine tablets and starting an anti inflammatory injections this week. It is only a mild case and the vet said it can be controlled and not get worse. We put her in our pool and let her swim as there are no hydrotherapy places around our area. I have spoken to so many vets and they all say different things. Surgery is not an option right now as it is not that bad. Although she is limping and struggling to get up, she is still able to walk. I walk her every night and massage her. People have told me they have had to put their dog down but there is absolutely no way I could or would do that. She is literally my best friend. Please help
It was actually our neighbors that gave her to us as they were going to sell her. They bought her from a top breeder- or so they say- for their young daughter without even researching about these dogs. Once she started growing and they realized how big she would become, they no longer wanted her. So I took her. She has now become a family member and I can’t even tell you how much I love her and have cried over seeing her like this.
She can get up but not like she us too, obviously. It takes her a while to walk up stairs but we have been recommended not to let her walk up large flights of stairs. I have taken her to an animal hospital as well as three vets and all have said it’s not serious enough for surgery. I just want her to get better.
And I never said I wasn’t willing to get her surgery. I have the money. I wouldn’t get an animal if I wasn’t able to pay for medical costs. I’ve been told by several vets that it’s not that seriousas yet.
There is absolutely NO WAY in hell I’m getting her put down. She can still run and jump and I will do whatever I possibly can to help her.
Pretty sure I said I’d get her the surgery. Open your eyes and read what I said before you call me selfish buddy. FOUR vets have told us that she does not need surgery as she can still run and jump. So don’t call me selfish. I put my dog before
Myself actually. And I do have the money. If surgery was 0,000 I’d pay it.
