Does glucosamine/chondroitin work in animals?
Comments (9)There are also other, herbal products that might help, instead of or in conjunction with the glucosamine/chondroitin, which may allow you to use less of the expensive stuff. I don't remember all the names off hand, but if you look for products with Boswellia, Devil's Claw, Turmeric, these will also give anti-inflammatory effects. There's a product for horsess called Bute-less (or, it USED to be called that, may have changed) for those horse owners who were worried about the long-term effects of bute on the gastric system - I can attest to that one working for my brother's horse - and I think it can also be used for dogs, adjusting the dosage. There's another called DGP, which originated in Australia, but can be found here - the anecdotal evidence says it works. They all will probably take at least 3 weeks to work, maybe 4-6 weeks for the full effect to be seen. They might be less money than the glucosamine/chondroitin. Try googling Hilton Herbs products - I think they also make products for dogs as well as horses....See MoreAnother question about taking the tops off
Comments (12)I'm in Kansas City, also zone 5. I planted out my bachelor buttons several weeks ago and they're doing fine. This weekend I planted out a couple of nigella and left the rest in their plastic home. Everything else I'm waiting on. Some have true leaves but I'm thinking the dirt in the garden is still so cold/cool that they'll be better off in their pots and will continue to strengthen the roots. Another two weeks or so isn't going to make a huge difference in the eventual bloomin show, I don't think. As for going topless, I work at home so I have the luxury of time AND I don't have very many pots to deal with, so the tops come off on most warm days and go back on at night. It might be unnecessary, but what the hell. I'm glad I did that last night - it hailed in my neighborhood and those little sprouts might have gotten pummeled. This is just my second year WS, so take my advice with a grain of salt!...See MorePropogating a Bromeliad....questions about taking pups
Comments (13)hotdiggety- so do I really. (seen some pics, haven't done it myself yet, this being my first one) I heard that if I don't take the pups from mom, the whole plant will die. I really don't want that. I have tried looking it up, I think I have the basic idea, but what I found was very vague. So, do I take them off and plant all in the same pot? Or leave it as is? Someone said I could plant them next to the mom, (not sure this pot is big enough for that) How much room do they need? What will happen to the mom plant? does she just die? or will I have to cut her off at some point? I can't seem to find the answers to my questions, believe me, I've looked! I love this plant, want to do right by it and its babies. Yes- questions again. Lol. Thanks for any info Marjie :)...See MoreHas anyone used glucosamine...........
Comments (17)For the last year, I have been taking a glucosamine and chondroitin mix and have not noticed much change, but then, my joints were in pretty good shape when I began. My wife claims is best used as a preventative, rather than to cure after the joint is damaged. In other words, don't wait until you have painful joints; begin at the first sign of joint discomfort of before. I get mine at Sams Club. The quantity is a bit large, but it is less expensive than at a convential drug store. The only caveat is a warning: do not take if you are allergic to shell fish. Recently, I read that a company is close to releasing a version without shell fish content and that should be safer for the allergic. The bottle label also discloses that this product has not been through study trials with the FDA. The FDA's position is that it may work, and again, it may not. They have no comment. Apparently, there has been no danger in taking the drug provided that you do not have an allergic reaction to it....See Moreenchantedplace
