My 25lb 13 year old dog has arthritis. I Wanted To Give Her White Willow Bark what is the healthy dose.?
I normally hаνе hеr οn 81mg Aspirin. Whісh doesn’t seem tο dο a lot.
today I ventured tο give hеr one 400mg White Willow Bark. Shе seemed tο hаνе more energy, аnd walked fаѕtеr longer. I fеаr thаt mау bе tο high a dose fοr long term υѕе. Whісh leads mе here.
Thank Yου Fοr Yουr Time.
The aspirin is simply for pain. To help joints you can offer chondroitin & glucoasmine pills or other joint medication but to figure out what’s best, you should call your vet to ask what they recommend and what dosage. The call is free.
NEVER supplement anything without first consulting a veterinarian for the correct dosage. Even so-called holistic remedies can be toxic in the wrong amounts.
Dont give your dog anything more until you talk to your vet. Just like a person, the dog may need a check up before starting any new health regiment…it may be a sense of “false energy” similar to what energy drinks do for us… I dont know but recommend your doggy see the doc.
If I where u I would cut pill in half. Try this give her only half a day.
See how she reacts to this. If it doesn’t seem to do the trick give her
the other half in the evening after she eats something. Always give her
meds after she eats something. Easier on her stomach.
Hope this helps

Try REAL analgesics from the VET=rymadil,for example=instead of VOODOO-ING it yourself!
What you need is something that will help her, restoring joint health like a pharmaceutical quality glucosamine and ten other synergistic arthritis fighting ingredients like chondroitin, boswellin, bromelaine, yucca, and Omega 3 and Omega 6 fish oils
And in extreme cases you should consider cartrophen vet. But always consult your Vet first.
