XP: Dasuquin + Adequan Injections for Ligament Tear

[elletr13]

Just returned from a $400+ trip to the vet. Woof.



Anyways, we've been diagnosed with some slight arthritis in the back knee and base of the small. She said they were very small spots, so she wants us to start on Dasuquin to help his joints. Anyone take this? My friend asked if I was "sure I didn't want the one with MSM"? The doc gave us a big bottle of the regular kind...I assume she'd tell us if we needed MSM, right?





For the record, he's a lab/pit mix who will turn 6 in November. He's been limping for the last week or so, so we went in. She also did some tests and thinks there could be a very small tear in one of his ligaments. So we're on strict rest for 2 months, doggy advil and weekly injections of Adequan for the next 6-8 weeks.
All this to hopefully avoid any full/major tear and to avoid surgery. Anyone have experience with Adequan injections?

My dogs are on a daily dose of Dasuquin and it really seems to help. They do take the kind with MSM. We buy it from Amazon - I've found it the least expensive there. You could start with the regular kind and then switch to the MSM variety.

No experience with Adequan injections, unfortunately.
