T-TOUCH

12/28/2008: Bonnie from Colts Neck, NJ writes: "Shakey dog legs: My 11 year old Jack Russell terrier is in good health walking at least a mile a day and running in a big yard. Over the past year he has developed a shakiness in his rear legs-like a nervous tremor. He is not in pain but I was hoping someone might have a supplement to suggest-He gets a dab of coconut oil daily and I have started ACV drops on his back and water. I was feeding antioxidant vitamins too. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks!"

EC: Our dog Max has had this issue for the past few years -- he's turning 15 in March! T-Touch (aka Tellington TTouch) has been very effective at stopping the tremors for a day or two. More about T-Touch here: http://www.ttouch.com/aboutLinda.shtml
Acupuncture has been another helpful technique for this condition, but it's quite expensive.

TRAUMEEL AND GOJI JUICE

01/04/2009: Gabbie from Austin, TX writes: "My 11 yr old lab/chow mix has arthritis in his back. Thanks to your helpful posts we're starting a treatment of 10 drops traumeel in 1 oz of Goji juice. He loves Goji juice and it's high in vitamin C and gives us the perfect delivery system for the traumeel. Will research a couple of other items listed and post again if they help."

TRAUMEEL AND ZEEL

2 YEA

[YEA]  08/07/2008: Katharine from Charleston, SC writes: "Traumeel and Zeel absolutely have been amazing for my animals! It was recommended by a holistic vet that I try the Traumeel and it has worked wonders on my rescue lab with torn ACLs (while waiting for surgery). I stopped for a bit and she began limping again. I definitely attribute her amazing progress to Traumeel. I own a small, natural pet store and was able to get both Traumeel and Zeel. Each product has produced great results in many customers' animals. Traumeel is for injuries or rheumatoid arthritis and Zeel is for osteoarthritis."

08/08/2008: Joyce from oelton, Tn replies: "Hi Katherine, Just wanted to let you know that MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is also safe for your little dogs also. You might want to visit your local Farmer's Co-op to get some to try adding it to their food."

09/10/2008: Diana from Waipu, New Zealand replies: "Hi Katharine, how do administer Traumeel and how many drops? We just got our first dog and as rescued we don't know about his past. He is limping sometimes after lying down and it looks like Arthritis but don't know which type.

Thanks, Diana"

[YEA]  03/19/2008: Jg from Dania, USA writes: "I met an alternative/homeopathic veterinarian who suggested I give my dog Heels Traumeel and Zeel for inflammation. I couldn't get the Zeel, but I did try the Traumeel and its like a miracle! I got it from Entirely Pets online.

My regular vet said she thought the recent pains and falling were due to inflammation and not the hip dysplasia so I tried the Traumeel and within hours he was walking straight up again! I hope it lasts!"

YUCCA

1 YEA

[YEA]  08/23/2009: James Pettus from Johns Island, SC, USA writes: "dogs with arthritis: as a boarding kennel owner we have given older dogs yucca tablets with great results. small dogs 1or 2 tablets twice a day large dogs 2 to 4 twice a day for about 2 weeks or until results are seen. then you can maintain with 1 a day."
