I have recently done some math on the cost of maintaining Hexay on the Synovi G3 soft chews from the Veterinarian .

To reach maintainence, will take the entire amount I purchased, then, to keep her maintained will be 40.00 ea. month there after.




Is this expected for her condition? I mean, in terms of the expense, because I intend on budgeting my monthly spending accordingly.

The dog food that I bought for her , Eukanuba Senior, contains gluecosamine HCi, not less than 375 mg/kg and chondroitin Sulfate not less than 35 mg/kg.


the chews contain not less than 900 mg of Gluscosamine HCI
MSM *( Methslyulfonyulmethane) , not less than 800 mg

among several other ingredients.

What do you think so far? Back to the Vet after a few months? or perhaps shopping around for a comparible product that fits the same need?

I need to get her weight down, and keep it down. I know that much.


She is doing well with 1 cup of Eukanuba senior for breakfast, with fresh water, then a short walk, a massage in the yard or in the house. She lays around while I do my chores, you wouldn't even know she is even here .I give her Bufferin as needed, making sure she has just eaten before doing so. The vet told me to use adult buffered asprin
That is scary stuff to me.I wish Hexay could talk, or, that I could understand her when she does try to communicate with me about her pain threshold.
I brush her twice a week, and I will give her another bath in a few more weeks. Gosh, her coat has come a long way. The fur blows upward in the breeze now , and is shiny again. This dog is so beautiful!!!!! So gentle, so intelligent. I am determined to get her back on the right track!!!! Her close friend, Kasha, looks on with a degree of jealously. Kasha would benefit with the same plan . Kasha is all black, I think she is a mixed German Shepard breed

I'm feeling overwhelmed right now, so of course , I go on line and head for Pet Talk. ( yipe!!! Yipe! Yipe!) I don't know what I would do without Pet Talk!!!

I will never give up!!! Okay!!! I Just need reasurance, from someone who knows this breed, that I am on the right track with a German Shepard Dog who needs ME!!!!

I'll post their pictures later.
