Ralph
Date Added: 08/10/2006 Breed: Cocker Spaniel Presenting problem: Hip Dysplasia Age: 2 Owner : Ralph
Ralph was only 18 months old at the time of his hip dysplasia diagnosis. We knew there was something wrong as he was so stiff and sore when he got up after lying down for a while, and often at times would not even come out of his kennel. His hip problem is quite severe and obviously something he was born with. Before we started Ralph on the powder, we would take him for a walk and run and he would have to stop quite often and lie down for 30 seconds or so. We thought he was just being a lazy dog.
We noticed an improvement in his mobility after a couple of weeks on Sasha’s Blend. Anyway, 6 months down the track, Ralph is going extremely well and now his problem is not noticeable at all. He rarely, if at all, "bunny hops" and does not complain when he has to get up. Nowadays, (although we were advised not to...) we let him off his lead (he really loves to run and we thought that a happy dog now is best) and he runs and runs and can do the 5-6 kilometre walk, that is his usual daily trip, without any troubles.
There is, without a doubt a very noticeable improvement in his life. We are very happy with the outcome. The powder lasted 6 months, so that is not in anyway expensive.
