I would ask your vet; contact Dr Fosters and Smith, perhaps 1800 PetMeds, too. I don't know if there are holistic vets, but doesn't hurt to look.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of heyjafreyja Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2012 7:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Chihuahuas] Luxating Patella, Arthritis, Fluoride, Vitamins Hi all, My 9-year-old chi Bernie has had arthritis-like pain for a while and recently developed symptoms of luxating patella (carries his left hind leg up most of the time). I"ve learned that fluoride exposure causes arthritic pain and have cut fluoride out of my life as much as possible, and I take calcium, magnesium & vitamin D supplements for bone/joint issues and iodine for thryoid issues. It has turned my life around! No pain, lots more energy! There is medical research out of India (where some natural water sources are high in fluoride) that KNEE and UPPER FEMUR are two of the first places that fluoride damage is seen. Of course that's precisely where luxating patella is, so before I go the surgery route I want to DETOX my little guy, like I've done myself. Question is, how? Can anyone recommend a good source of calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and iodine for a tiny tiny chi (4.5 pounds)? I don't dare give him what I take. Also it needs to a liquid I can squirt down this throat as he will not eat pills and always rejects food with strange powders on it. :) THANKS SO MUCH! Helen
