Are there any home remedies or holistic ways to ease arthritis pain in my dog?

I have an 18 year old Chihuahua/Beagle mix. She is in good health (although she is on Phenobarbital for epilepsy), but recently she has developed arthritis in her hips and/or back legs. It is getting worse. I can easily tell that her gait is off and she isn’t walking as easily as she could before.

There are still times when she can run around the yard and we play tug of war together from time to time as well.

With her vets permission I began giving her half of a baby aspirin twice a day, but I recently read on several sites that it can cause stomach problems and that Phenobarbital can make the aspirin less effective. Not only that, it wasn’t really helping, so I stopped giving it to her.

At her age, and with the cost of medication these days, I’m wondering if there is anything I can do for her at home, or if there are holistic ways to make her more comfortable.

Thanks for any ideas or advice

My dog just turned nine and is deteriorating before my eyes. She is half rottweiler half german shepard and is having a lot of problems with one of her hind legs. She does not like to put any weight on it and sometimes bunny hops up and down the stairs. I just started giving her aspirin (per my vet) and fish oil. Please let me know of anything that has worked for you. I just hate to see her be in so much pain- I have had her since she was three months old. Thanks in advance!

Are there natural remedies for severe arthritis?

My grandmother has very bad arthritis in her shoulders. She can barely lift her arms. She takes a vitamin C supplement daily and has for some time now. She is also diabetic, managed (poorly) with insulin. She has been doing some physical therapy for about a month and it hasn’t helped at all. The only thing that has seemed to help is aleve and acupressure.
I was wondering if there were natural cures for arthritis. Or possibly even what the best medical advice would be. I know she could get a steroid shot directly in her shoulder, but not with diabetes because the steroids effect blood sugar levels. Any suggestions?

Home remedies for osteoarthritis of the neck (Cervical spondylosis)?

I’ve recently been diagnosed with cervical spondylosis, and it can be very painful at times. However, I am more concerned about the degenerative nature of the condition than the pain. I am only 40 and I’m very active. I have read that a cervical collar can be very effective in preventing damage; but won’t that cause atrophy of the neck muscles?

It is a finely ground shinbone from St. Peter. You put it in a blender on high with ginger root for one minute, strain, add maple syrup, and drink. Do you think this will cure my arthritis and bipolar disorder?

My mom was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and she gets these really bad joint pains to where she is unable to get out of bed at times or even unable to move her fingers. The doctor prescribed her some medications, but none seem to help. Are there any real good home remedies that actually work? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Looking for old fashioned pain remedies, and military school info prefer Florida area.?

I have Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Rheumatism and all the other things that come with the package. An example of how fragile I am,,,,,,I once peeled potatoes for a soup kitchen and had to be put on steroids the next day, I felt like a steam roller had rolled over my hand. The Doctor said all the little “bubbles, or cushions, (if you will), were busted and that cushioning we need dearly so we don’t feel like our bones are rubbing against one another. At other times, I just wake up with some severe pain issue as if someone beat me up in my sleep, so what the healthy person considers a cramp can feel like fire, or feel like a bees nest is living inside me, or…. Like someone is inside digging away at my tissues and bones, or ripping my flesh from within. NOW I AM positive you understand. I wanted to give a little pain history so you could better advise me. I would prefer to divulge no further details as to why this happened. I want to ask if anyone knows any treatment, which maybe a relative has passed down that I could use. I’m asking for advise other than cold and heat, different than bath with salts, different than oils to rub, already been there. I know this is probably not a common request, but I have always respected answers I have received in the past from the Yahoo community. I have many big knots on my face and head. Under my eye, my eyeball is even sore, and I think he shoved me to the floor by hitting my face with an open hand; the next is huge scrape and swollen arm, feel like foot bones are crumbs. My left side of me back, below the bra line and right along my spine. My face is really bothering me, oh…my hands, or fingers also. Just an FYI, I was only trying to remove a Game cube from someone. TEENS!!!!!! Oh, I am moving to Florida next week around the Tampa area and I would love to drop the lovely one off for a few hard lessons. Anyone knows of a military school, or some place similar, that could help I would appreciate the information. He is 16 and needs to reach a bottom with some sergeant a millimeter from his face, or he needs to learn some serious life manners. I cannot deal, and would rather not respond with my fist. Two wrongs do not make a right.
