I have a 7 year old golden retriever.
I used to neglect him alot and only play with him here or there..
But Im starting to walk him about 45 minutes everyday now and he likes it and stuff.
But lately he hasnt been eating his dry food, for like the past 2 months he only eats it like when hes starving I think.
Why isnt he eating it? is he depressed? does he not like the food?

On a side not he has seizures about once every 1-2 months but thats only when we dont give him is Glucosamine tablets.

anyways, i used to drink a lot of diet cokes, havent had a soda in over a yr. anyways about a month or two i was reading in a magazine how magnesium can reverse damage from low bone density, i knew i was high risk cause i had a bone density test, and the article was saying to take high doses of magnesium and it would make your bones better, ive been doing this for a month or two and ive noticed a big improvement in a real short amt of time, i can do things i couldnt do before and now i dont even take pain killers anymore, cause of the magnesium healing up stuff. i take stuff like glucosamine too, and k and caltrate too and calcium and a few other stuff, is there something to this cause ive been feeling so much better, a month ago, i almost felt like quitting my job and now i feel so much better its just more tolerable to do stuff, will it totally heal up my joints? just wondered what happens after, im not so sure its arthritis, i think it might be a lot of damage from the sodas, also, someone said chromium was good for joints too so i was thinking of doing that with chromium too. i know people say not to take too many vitamins but if youre really deficient cause of phosphoric acid eating it up, i think sometimes you need to, just wondered what people’s opinions were on that. im not planning on ever drinking a soda again, too much of a hassle. it also gave me bad mood swings and possibly seizures cause i passed out a couple of times, anyone know about aspertame giving you seizures? any suggestions? on how to get back the bone density i should have, im trying to see if a doctor can give me meds for bone density but hes going to look at my bone scan first, i see him in two wks.

I have a 6 year old Retriever/Spaniel mix. He has been on phenobarbital for 3 years now due to cluster seizures that started when he turned 3. He hasn’t had any seizures in about 2 years but the vet (and myself) want him to stay on it just to be safe. He is now showing signs of joint pain in his hind legs. I’ve done the research but can’t come up with an answer as to whether or not it is ok to give him chewable glucosamine tablets while he is on the pheno. Any help would be appreciated!
