Adequan

When I took Muddy to the vet last week, he was lame on his front left leg. Dr Simpkins tested the hoof and did some flexions on him. We could not determine where exactly he was hurting. We took new xrays on his broken leg with the digital xray machine. The leg is healing up very well. The concerning part is how little cartilage he has in his stifle joints. We've made the decision to put him on Adequan. Eventually, down the line he will need stifle injections. I've been hearing some good stuff about Adequan. I'm excited to see how it works in Muddy. James and I have decided to put our older dog Midnight on it as well. Dr Simpkins wants another month of rest for Muddy.
