<< If anyone can help I'd be most grateful: 1. My German Sheppies nearly 10 years old - brother has very stiff joints and doesn't move with the ease and grace he used to possess 2. His sister has an apparently common to GSDs problem - which is anal fistulae (bacteria which literally burrow through the intestines and right out the back under tail). Vets we've consulted and whose treatments have not worked, say there is no cure and kindest move is to euthanase. Well, this is not an option to me right now as she seems fairly happy otherwise. The part under her tail looks 'raw' and is quite malodourous. I am of course giving CS internally and spraying directly. Thank you kindly! Yvonne :o) >> Yvonne: For stiff joints I had good results (over an 8 year period) giving my Newfy a combination buffered aspirin (usually 1 tablet a day) plus a prescription cortisone medication. However, I used about 1/20 of the amount stated on the perscription. For the other problem, try using Brooks Bradley's 2 part Gatorade 1 part CS mix. He says it increases the CS absorption rate to that approaching an IV. Also, since the Gatorade is sweet, perhaps your dog will ingest more CS than he is now using DW.
