ARTHRITIS


Joint Disease

The most common signs of Joint Disease include stiffness, limping – particularly after rest – inability to rise, reluctance to jump or even climb stairs and noticeable pain.

 

There are lots of causes of arthritis – the most common being old age and invasion of joints (after surgery).

 

There are plenty of veterinary medicines that can help but Glucosomine, Chondritin & MSM tablets taken daily have had good results. Devils Claw & Green-lipped Mussels are also very popular, and the old favourite Cod-liver Oil.

 

Homeopaths often prescribe Ruta Grav or Rhus Tox. For more specific information see the link below.
