Hi All,
I had Marcino neutered yesterday and did hip and elbow x-rays at the same time. Found out that his left elbow is not 100% but should not cause any future problems per the vet (we will x-ray again in a years time). His hips were another story... the right one is ok... but the left one is showing signs of mild dysplasia. I was really sad to get this news... but life has to go on.
I have heard the upside about giving glucosamine... however I would like to get more info. Marcino was discharged by a technician last night who could not give me sufficient info on this supplement.
To make a long story short... what can I do to help prevent this from worsening? Apparently lot's of excersise is the way to go, and to also keep him lean.
Is there any benefit to giving him glucosamine at this point? What about extra protein (along with excersise) to build up muscle around his hips.
I am hearbroken over this news... need some advice and words of encouragement guys.
