Title: Arthritis supplements
Post by: Kate S on February 25, 2023, 17:30:41 PM

Susan has some stiffness in her back legs and pelvis. She's not too bad and the vet suggested supplements. I have bought Yumove and VetIQ Arthritium, but she will not touch them in her food or by itself. Does anyone have any other ideas, like a bland smelling oil I can add to her food?

Depending on what food she likes, Hills do a food called J/D, which is joint support, comes in wet and dry, might be an alternative to hiding things in her food? I'll also try and look up some that Lucy did initially enjoy, they had a strong fishy smell and were more like treats.

I give seraquin.  Mosi wouldn’t touch yumove either but he likes the serquin, so much so that he eats it like a treat.  It contains glucosamine.
