Lhasa Apso dogs and Arthritis

Arthritis in dogs...

What are the normal and conventional approaches to arthritis?

Normal procedure is the use of Metacam [I think that's how you spell it] a painkiller from your vet... alternatively your vet will suggest an injection to ease the pain. After the first injection it is supposed to be a regular routine every six months or so.

The above paragraph represents what was done for our dog some years ago. I do not know if that is current practice as our dog only got as far as having the first injection. He no longer needs Metacam either!

What have we done for him?

We bought a Magnopulse collar. Since that time he has had no other treatment, and the condition has not got any worse... in fact he as well as can be expected, taking into account the ill-treatment he had suffered before we had him, plus the operations on his legs we had to have done for him to help 'right the wrongs'. He can walk for miles now, and rarely shows any signs of stiffness.

He doesn't know the collar is supposed to do him good!

Please note: I am NOT getting any affiliate income from recommending this product... I am just trying to make life more comfortable for all the poor dogs [and cats] who suffer from this debilitating disease.

The website to visit is... Magnopulse and the email address is mailbox@magnopulse.com
One of their products is available on prescription on the NHS in the UK for people with leg ulcers... this, to me, seems to prove something!
Their products have both a UK and US patent.
Personally, I would avoid cheap imitations.
