What is the better treatment for dog hip dysplasia

[blpeders]

My 11th Month old Puppy has dip dysplasia and the Vets have ruled out a TPO as he shows signs of arthritis. I need help deciding on what course of treatment to use. Adequan (which is a monthly shot) or a supplement pill like Springtime Joint Health Chewables which contains Glucosamine HCL and Chondroitin sulfate. Also if I go with the supplement does anybody have any recomendations? Please helpHe was from the pound but thanks for the heads up.I have explored the surgical options. He has about 30 % of the ball in the hip. Not very good. He is a lab and will most likely be a 90lb skinny dog. The surgery where they just remove the hip joint and create a fake joint is recommended for dogs under 45 pounds. I have spoke with a vet and he said that he has done it on larger dogs with success but it should be a last resort. Thank You for the help.

11 months! What BYB did you get him from? You need to make sure that person isn't breeding anymore.For his supplements though, I agree with first poster.

I use a monthly Adequan shot and daily Cosequein DS tablets.I recommend asking your vet to show you how to administer your own adequine shot. This will save you time and money since you will be doing it for the remainder of your dogs life. The needle is small and goes underneath the skin, nothing to it! I can tell a DRASTIC improvement when I used both supplements.

i have a 2 1/2 yr old choc labrador who was diagnosed with double hip dysplacia at 6 months old. unfortunately there was not enough socket bone there for her to have hip replacements. she has calcium tablets daily and hydro therapy every 2 weeks. she is in wonderful shape, very healthy and runs about on her walks with my other black lab. her muscle tone is extremely good and i would recommend swimming for your dog every time. best thing i could have done for jessi, shes one very happy, healthy dog.
