Terri,

We use Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate for Hope, who had surgery for
hip dysplasia, but it's already in her food.  I don't know for sure, but I
would guess that the liquid would be easier to administer--we've had better
luck with liquid medicines than pills.  If she likes the taste, you can let
her lick it from the syringe.  If she doesn't, well she's more likely to
swallow a liquid and spit out a pill.  As for a brand name, I'm not sure
what to recommend, but you could look at the Drs. Foster and Smith catalog
for some brands.  Can your vet make a suggestion or at least give you some
tips on picking a type?
