Hi, My dog, KC, 3 yrs, was just diagnosed with osteoporosis (sp???). One lister suggested that I used the g/c, which I did. Also, my vet gave KC some kennel Ibuprofene after a serie of injections did not improve his condition.
I guess the combinationof the Ibuprofene, the threat of Rimadyl for the rest of his life and the g/c did the job: he walks better. I give him 500 mg of g/c in the morning and another 500 g at night. My question is : Am I giving too much? He has also lost 3 pounds and is loosing more, the result of a diet. He now weighs 22 pounds. We are aiming 18 pounds. Is loosing a pound a month too much for a dog? Thank you!
