Synoquin for dogs

[Spudlet]

Blimey, it's good stuff!

Earlier this year, Spud's behaviour changed. He got grumpy, reluctant to jump into the car, and at one point even snapped. Most unlike him. The vet diagnosed arthritis in his hocks, and recommended Synoquin supplements, and gave us Metacam as a back-up.

Today, he just jumped onto the armchair... Nothing unusual in that, except he decided that rather than go to the front, he'd leap on from the side.... Over the arm, which is a high one. Cleared it clean! He's had metacam maybe three times - when we went to the beach for the day as a precaution, right back when he was diagnosed, and when we ran out of Synoquin in the chaos of house moving and he started to a bit pottery. That's it.

I was a bit cynical about this stuff as it's not cheap, but the vet was right - it's really helped. It's brought old, happy Spud back to us.

Just thought I'd share this!

My 11 year old boxer has been on this 3 weeks and I'm sure I can see a difference. I'm glad your boy is doing so well on it, I'm pleased I have given it a try as my vet raves about it.

Yes I have used Synoquin on old dogs & horses for years. You are right, it isn't cheap but the results are worth it. I also use magnetic collars on dogs, myself & magnetic boots on horses who have injuries. My old dog who was unable to barely hobble down the field could jump the ditch like a pup shortly after I put on a magnetic collar then added Synoquin. I am sure it enhanced the quality of his life for at least a year to 18 months. People often pooh pooh magnets, but you can't lie to a dog to tell it it's a placebo.

I use synequin on my old hunter who has spavins and it has been miraculous. My mother put a magnetic collar on her old dog and we're all pretty sure it made a noticeable difference. My reservations when it comes to horses is that most magnetic products are in something that would also heat up the area so it's hard to asses whether it's the magnet or the increase in heat that causes the improvement.
