    I keep watching videos on how to possibly cure my dog's arthritis and seizures. I've come to realize there's nothing much I can do, he's an old dog. He's a good dog. I am not ready to accept that he will pass soon, but it is a process. Thank you for this video anyways, it warms my heart that Pearl is receiving the help she needs.

      I’m so sad. Just visited the vet today and found out my doggy has slight arthritis in his knees. I’m so so scared I don’t want to see him suffering in the future. I would do anything for him. He’s the only thing that makes me happy and I’m scared he won’t get proper attention when I go to college

      @@samyray2k851 my Big boy (cane corso) has struggled with arthritis for the last few years - always worse when the weather changes (like mine) and after trying several different things, I finally found a regimen that works!
      I started him on CBD oil each day, plus probiotics- a natural supplement that has a few different herbs in it- plus a heavy metal detox spray -
      Within a week he no longer whimpered or cried - he suddenly became more like a puppy again, smiling all the time and playing so cute .. it’s incredible-
      I started this new protocol because he couldn’t touch One of His paws to the ground and was limping -
      No swelling/Infection etc.. and since my vet couldn’t get him in immediately, I started experimenting -
      After Day 5 his paw is perfect again, in addition to being more playful and energetic! Yay!!

    I am your overseas fan from Thailand and I have just ended my dog's life from his arthritis. As I can't take any longer period to see him suffering when he had tried so hard to stand up on his own, as one of his front leg was too hurt for him to use in addition his two back legs had not enough strength to support himself while standing and walking. For the past almost six months his arthritis got worst even I tried everything to ease him by taking food supplements such as firstly Antinol twice a day including fish oil later just a month before euthanasia ( hope it is correct) changing to SC ll. in replacement of Antinol as recommended by my veterinarian. I did follow your video regarding massage for arthritis in dogs. I am now in grief of pet lost. It is really hurtful feeling because I have guilt for ending life of my beloved dog. Just hope it won't' take me long to get over this state of grief. Sorry if my English knowledge is not good.

    Thanks Doc, you helped me ease Kuba,my Black Lab, across the Bridge. And helped us make the decision that he couldn’t. How painful and empty his leaving left us. A new dog came to us late one January night, he had been left in a crate for over a week, in a Motel room by his self. A groomer that works for my daughter at VCA Portsmouth Virginia, ,was alerted to him,and rescued him from the Bad Situation. She brought him to us that night,and we will take care of him from now on. He is a Black Lab/Newfoundland Retriever. His lock up added to severe arthritis in his right front leg ( gives him a bad limp, x-rays showed the arthritis. He was 2 years old in January, and weighs in at 147 #. We have him on a dosage our Vet recommended , and I try to take him swimming at least once a week in the River,salt Water, since temperature is warming up some.. What else can I do, moist heat,dry heat, how about massage for his front leg. Do you have a videotape showing how to correctly use that method ?? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and treatments, with your fans. Truly,,Paul

    when I brought my dog to the veterinary clinic , they said that they were gona operate on her leg and her elbow but I said no to the idea. Then they said that swimming is another option I can try with my dog. But these massages you are truly doing for purl really help my dog too causing I'm copying the techniques your doing. thank you Andrew for these video's.

    Thank you for making this video. My black lab is a healthy weight but has bad knees. The veterinarian noticed a couple of years ago just by the way she was sitting, and with the cold wet weather and older age, she's starting to show signs of discomfort. She's grunting and deep sighing every time she lies down, she lays vs. sits, and she has a very hard time getting comfortable or staying comfortable. I'm going to try these massages for her. She doesn't limp and can still climb stairs and jump OK, but we've had her on Dasaquin MSM (recommended dose) for years now, thankfully. I've also put heating pads on her hip/knee areas while she rests. Thank you again!

    You should have your dog on a glucosamine supplement way before they start showing problems it's a great preventative. My dog is 9 years old can run and jump I've had him on joint supplements since he was 2. It's also good to look for dog foods that have glucosamine and chondroitin in them. I've got my dog on a large breed grain-free food that has his daily dose already in it. Not all foods have large doses in them though so you need to read the label fish oil is also another good anti-inflammatory it helps with lubricating joints

    No doubt that supplements will help manage Pearl's pain. My American Bulldog, Belle has taken Dasuquin with MSM for years for arthritis and it has really helped her. She has also taken Carprofen which is taken for pain management and inflammation. She was recently diagnosed with Cushing's Disease which meant she can longer take Carprofen (dog's with Cushing's can not take NSAIDs). Instead of Carprofen to manage her pain, her vet has put her on Gabapentin. She just started taking Gabapentin today so I'll have to watch her closely for the next several days to see if it is working for her. I would like to address one thing that Dr. Jones did not talk about in this video and that is Pearl's weight. Pearl is definitely overweight. Dropping a few pounds would be beneficial in helping to relieve her pain. My dog, Belle dropped about 10lbs after being diagnosed with arthritis and it made a huge difference in her ability to walk as well as moving from a down position to a standing position. Just dropping weight will not stop Pearl's pain, but it would certainly be another way to manage her discomfort.

    I can use all the help I can get. My Dane was diagnosed with arthritis...she was having issues with her hind end. Two years later and she gets around but not much. When I lightly grip her knee, she shows signs of major discomfort. If I keep pressure on this, she will sit down. She stands well in the morning for about 15 minutes then she goes to her slouch in the hindquarters / knees position. She can slouch pretty low without sitting too. I tried every supplement there is. I even gave her Adequan shots. I appreciate the massage techniques here. Thank you. I hope it helps.

They also gave him Rimadyl for arthritis in his front right knee. I also have a Yorkie who has patella and knee problems.

    For those who aren't aware of this or who can't afford a vet, CUT YOUR DOG'S NAILS. It can change your dog's life. Nail clippers go for less than 40 dollars. If he doesn't want you to touch his paws, make sure he's lying down, pour a few drops of milk in his bowl and when he's distracted... Clamp down hard and cut. It's a long process but it works. He might slip a couple of times because the paws are still getting used to the feeling of complete control. He'll be getting up and sitting down a lot better and faster.

    Dr. Andrew Jones suggests massage as a treatment for dogs with arthritis. He explains that dogs with arthritis, especially in the knees, may use their legs and muscles differently, leading to muscle spasms and painful, thick muscles. Massage can help relax these muscles and relieve pain.
    He demonstrates a basic massage technique starting from the lower back, going down to the base of the dog's tail, along the side of the hip, and down past the knee. He also suggests massaging the inside of the dog's thigh muscle down to the knee.
    Dr. Jones then shows how to get more specific with the massage, using the thumb and forefinger to make circular motions on the big back muscles along the spine, the big gluteal muscles, the hamstring muscles, and the big quad muscles. He notes that these muscles may be working much harder due to the arthritis in the dog's knee.
    Overall, Dr. Jones suggests that massage can be a helpful addition to other treatments for dogs with arthritis.

    • @mikahundin
      @mikahundin 4 месяца назад

      In addition to supplements, acupressure, and massage, Dr. Andrew Jones suggests trying comfrey, a plant that may help treat arthritis in dogs. He explains that comfrey can be ground up or pounded, cooked with a little bit of moisture to release its nutrients, and then applied to the affected area using a piece of cheesecloth or a sieve to hold it close to the skin. He recommends trying this treatment twice a day for a week to see if it's helpful.
      Dr. Jones also notes that every dog is different, and while certain remedies may work for the majority of dogs, it's important to try them out and see what works best for your dog. He encourages viewers to subscribe to his channel and click the link in the box below to receive free books and videos on how to heal their pets at home with his top natural remedies.

    • @mikahundin
      @mikahundin 4 месяца назад

      Comfrey can often be found at health food stores, herbal shops, or online retailers that specialize in natural remedies and herbal supplements. It may be sold in various forms, such as dried leaves, ointments, creams, or tinctures.
      When purchasing comfrey, it's important to ensure that it is sourced from a reputable supplier and that it is free from contaminants. It's also important to note that comfrey contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which can be toxic to the liver if ingested in large amounts or over a long period of time. Therefore, it's recommended to use comfrey topically and to avoid giving it to your dog internally without consulting with a veterinarian first.
      If you're unsure where to find comfrey or how to use it safely, it's always a good idea to consult with a veterinarian or a qualified herbalist who can provide guidance based on your dog's specific needs and health status.

    • @mikahundin
      @mikahundin 4 месяца назад

      To use comfrey topically on dogs, you can make a poultice or compress using the fresh or dried leaves of the plant. Here's a simple method to make a comfrey poultice:
      1. Grind or chop fresh comfrey leaves into a paste, or use dried leaves and add enough water to make a paste.
      2. Spread the paste onto a clean cloth or gauze, and then place the cloth onto the affected area of your dog's body.
      3. Cover the cloth with plastic wrap or a plastic bag to help keep the poultice in place.
      4. Wrap the area with a bandage or cloth to hold the poultice in place.
      5. Leave the poultice on for several hours, or overnight if possible.
      6. Remove the poultice and rinse the area with warm water.
      7. Repeat the process once or twice daily as needed.
      It's important to note that comfrey should not be applied to open wounds or broken skin, as it can cause irritation and may slow down the healing process. Also, as mentioned earlier, comfrey contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which can be toxic to the liver if ingested in large amounts or over a long period of time. Therefore, it's recommended to use comfrey topically and to avoid giving it to your dog internally without consulting with a veterinarian first.
      If you're unsure about how to use comfrey safely or effectively, it's always a good idea to consult with a veterinarian or a qualified herbalist who can provide guidance based on your dog's specific needs and health status.

      When applying a comfrey poultice or compress to a dog's fur, it's possible that some of the fur may get in the way or stick to the poultice. To minimize this, you can take the following steps:
      1. Trim the fur around the affected area: Before applying the poultice, use scissors or clippers to carefully trim the fur around the affected area. This will help the poultice make better contact with the skin and reduce the amount of fur that gets in the way.
      2. Use a thin layer of gauze or cheesecloth: Place a thin layer of gauze or cheesecloth between the poultice and your dog's fur. This will help keep the poultice in place and prevent the fur from sticking to it.
      3. Apply a light coating of oil: Before applying the poultice, you can apply a light coating of oil, such as olive oil or coconut oil, to your dog's fur. This will help create a barrier between the fur and the poultice and make it easier to remove the poultice later.
      4. Cover the poultice with plastic wrap: After applying the poultice, cover it with plastic wrap or a plastic bag to help keep it in place. This will also help prevent the fur from sticking to the poultice.
      5. Monitor your dog: While the poultice is in place, monitor your dog to make sure they don't try to lick or scratch at it. If necessary, you can use an Elizabethan collar or other protective device to prevent your dog from disturbing the poultice.
      By taking these steps, you can help ensure that the comfrey poultice makes good contact with your dog's skin and that the fur doesn't get in the way. If you're unsure about how to apply a poultice safely or effectively, it's always a good idea to consult with a veterinarian or a qualified herbalist who can provide guidance based on your dog's specific needs and health status.

    To answer what you should give to your dog for OA to insure a Quality of Life: ​ Rehabilitation exercises to help regain muscle strength, modalities such as Laser (not red light LED), Extracorporeal Shockwave, ACUPUNCTURE, chiropractic, ultrasound, and joint mobilizations to start and continue on a weekly/ monthly and continuous basis. But start with a consult with your veterinarian, especially one who has completed certifications in "Natural" healing. Reducing pain through medications -whether pharmaceutical (more immediate and puts out the fire of inflammation) and natural (help to rebuild and modify the tissues to function better) - which starts with a visit to a trained veterinarian to guide you. Many OTC products do not put into the bottle what they claim or are too little, incorrect combinations, or indigestible, e.g. many CBD products, which are not at all regulated or third party verified.

    Two other vets say it’s CCL and that TPLO surgery is recommended. They also say Xray indicates effusion and swelling in the knee.
    now, I’m completely confused. I don’t want my dog to have a surgery that he didn’t need, while the real issue is not fixed.

    Point 1: Dr. Andrew Jones, a veterinarian, introduces Pearl, an older dog suffering from knee arthritis. Pearl's difficulty in moving, short walks, and reluctance to put weight on her back legs are signs of arthritis.
    Point 2: Dr. Jones suggests supplementing a dog's diet with glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM. The recommended doses are 500 milligrams of glucosamine, 250 milligrams of chondroitin, and 500 milligrams of MSM for 50 pounds of body weight daily. These supplements are part of Dr. Jones' Multi Canine Health Formula.
    Point 3: Dr. Jones recommends two additional herbs, curcumin and boswellia, for dogs with advanced arthritis. Curcumin, isolated from turmeric, should be given at a therapeutic dose of about 100 milligrams for 10 pounds of body weight daily. Boswellia, also known as frankincense, should be given at a dose of about half the curcumin dose.
    Point 4: Dr. Jones suggests acupressure as a treatment for arthritis in dogs. He demonstrates two acupressure points, BL 60 and KI3, which can be stimulated to provide relief. He also suggests using the palm to send energy to the affected area.
    Point 5: Dr. Jones recommends massage for dogs with arthritis. Massage can help relax muscles, reduce spasms, and relieve pain. He suggests focusing on the lower back, hips, and thighs, and demonstrates circular motions on the back muscles.
    Point 6: Dr. Jones introduces comfrey, a plant that can be used to treat arthritis. He suggests grinding or pounding the plant, cooking it to release its nutrients, and applying the softened plant material to the affected area using a piece of cheesecloth. He recommends trying this treatment twice a day for a week to see if it's helpful.

When I mentioned it to the vet, he moved my dog Poncho's neck and made him scream (I believe he scared him) but any how the vet said he has a spinal cord injury, however I don't believe that's what it is and it's been really bothering me. I bought some cosequin and noticed it has some of the same ingredients you mentioned.. maybe that could help him

Yesterday she did not want to move or go outside when I called her, she stayed in the house the whole day and didnt want to eat. Same on the 2nd day. When she decides to get up and walk she seemed very unstable and stiff when she walks. I've been giving her glucosamine/chondroitin as well as CBD. It seems like her condition is getting worse. Any advice? Thanks
