Hi,

I give loads. Reggie is on the BARF diet and I supplement with various bits and pieces. I would give Bonnie a high dose of Glucosamine together with fish body oil (not cod liver oil). If giving fish body oil you will also need to give Vit E.

Just spotted this is an old post but thought the info may be useful.

cortaflex is really good,you can buy for about 17pound off net,if your taking her vets theres a really good drug called previcox but depends how stiff she is,its more expensive than metacam thoughxx
