Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 glucosamine, but only if he is not diabetic. also, omega 3 could help. Omega 3 is good for heart, but in people, if the heart is too diseased, it doesnt help. Dont know if its the same for dogs. keep his bed on the floor and there are stairs for them to use. ebay has a variety of steps. --- On Mon, 2/23/09, ben root <classicrods61 wrote: ben root <classicrods61 old black dog Monday, February 23, 2009, 8:50 AM hi guys havent been on in a while moved back to fla from nc starting over need a little help from u guys my black lab has a hip problem starting slowto getting up and moveing was wondering if any one knows any home remendys to help him also dry skin always scritching thanks ben have a blessed day classicrods61@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I have been using an Amino Acid supplement called DLPA for my old husky and she is doing much better. My friend has also used it for his lab with great results. It is made by Twinlabs and is available in health foood stores. My dog takes 2 capsules per day. My holistic veterinarian recommended this when other pain meds didn't work. Please do some web research on this so you know what it is.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 For the itchy skin, I would recommend something like Carlson Salmon Oil with GLA or any good quality Omega 3 softgel. That is what I used on my Newfoundland for his itchy and flaking skin. It solves the problem.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hi Ben, What does your dog eat? As for joint supps, try glucosamine and chondriotin, Vitamin C to bowel tolerance, and fish oil. The fish oil might help the coat as well.
