obese dog witk weak bones/joints
Please help! I have a lab, a four and a half yeal old bitch. She has been fat since she was one year old, though she does not over eat. Now she is 43 kgs.Doctor says both her problems are genetic. She slips on the floor now though earlier from childhood till , say last six months she used to walk and run on the same floor. she has been fat then also. Doctor says her bones are week and probably she has osteoarthiritis. she does not have any swelling and perhaps not much pain.Her hips now has somewhat shrunken. I am giving her glucosamine chondroitin 500 mg for last two weeks, seems to be a little better. Her weight is causing extra problem for her bone and joint condition. please suggest homeo remedy. Thank you.anamika_anamika on 2009-06-26
please observe the changes in symptoms for the next 7 days and report back.
She should not be given anything to eat/drink within 15 minutes before or after giving medicine.

1. she is better than what she was after cal fluor 6.
2 But she is not that good as she was when i gave her cal carb 200 initially.
Anyways as advised I am waiting. But she is bloating with an alarming speed.
There is some history of hers which might be of some use to you in treatment. I will post only if you appreciate.

Then for practical reasons we decided to neutar her in january 2008. Her uterus was removed but we asked the doctor not to remove overies so that she can have normal hormones till it is naturally stopped.
Then after 15 days or so she started mensurating, and then developed a false pregnency first time ever. she adopted a toy as pup, tried to dig earth for it etc. we know it is normal with dogs. then she stared dripping milk. doc said it is normal and will stop and it did.
after two three weeks of this she started limping. she gradulaay stopped walking up the staircase then going outside to play, then moving around in the house and then her eating was reduced to 1/4th,
we showed it to two vet doctors, X ray was taken out, doc told us she has this joint problem which is genetic, her thigh joints( perhaps called femur joint?) is inflammed/ has calcium deposit etc etc. we were told that we cant do much except putting her on painkillers so that she can have less painful life.
We came back with a heavy heart, but then while patting her, trying to convey our pain my hand stopped at something hard on her inner right thigh!! The stone like hardness was half feet big! we went to the doctor he said it is absess and though it was right there where he operated upon,close to the stiches, it has nothing to do with the operation. we dont know.
The antybiotic did not relieve. I searched the net and various vet homeopathic forums and finally decided to give her Silicea 200. Aggrevation happened on that day....it was painful to see her so troubled. I just prayed to GOD to take care of her, as i did not know what to do now!
Next morning a miracle happened, the absess broke open, it started dripping, the more it dripped the better she felt. I used to clean her three times a day. after 4 days action stopped and i repeated. After 2 weeks shwe was as healthy as nothing ever happened to her. running around the house, playing and all.
Next mensuration she again developed false pregnancy and milk in the breast.a very little hardness, again silicea 200, she was fine within a week. her last mensuration was in march. some milk again but no hardness,no unusual feeling, i touched and checked thoroughly. but in may she started limping again. I searched and fine glucosomin and chond. safe for dogs also. i started in june.
My search for homeopathy for her continued and i hit upon this forum and rest you know.
I know this long version may annoy you but please bear with me.
Hope you understand. Thanks

Though her bowel movement is almost regular, but she is generally constipated.sometimes i give her liquid paraffine one spoon at night.
And no, there is no hardness anywhere.

Please don't give calc carb for the time being.

sunday morning, i.e. today, we gave her milk which she took but not the medicine.
Here i would like to say that despite her limp and her bloated body, she is cheerful and wants to play all the time. though she tires within minutes and stops running but her spirit always up and she continues playing in sitting or lying down position.
Saturday onwards she was far from her usual self. what do you advice now?
