What brave doggies and wonderful, devoted moms My Cody, a Husky/Shep, was diagnosed with hio dysplasia at age 2. Since then she has been on Glycoflex, a glucosaimine/chondrotin forumula available through your vet. She is also on a Flax oil supplement and an herbal powder supplement, "Animal Essentials," added to her food. On occasion, she will get a coated aspirin to ease the pain and of course, lots of nightly doggis sassages. She does limp on her one hind leg after excessive exertion (running, long walks) but is doing quite well, all things considered. The vet also recommends short swimming sessions. That type of exercise helps to keep the joints loose and mobile without excessive strain.

What an angel you are Scooby to have given such a deserving senior citizen like Dirtnap and all your rescues, a chance at happiness. I hope the vet can come up some additional suggestions to ease his discomfort. Poor pupper must be so frightened and confused with all of his ailments, but blessedly, he has you
