Hello everyone,

Boris just had his surgery one week ago (lost his left back leg because of cancer), and even though he is a 10 years old Rottweiler he amazed everyone with his fast recovery! I am happy to see him run on three legs but I realize the increased stress on his joints and backbone.

The vet recommended some glucosamine but I would really appreciate if you could share from your experience what supplements we could give him to prevent possible problems with his bones and joints.

Thank you!

On The Road

Hi Violeta and Boris, welcome! I'm sorry to hear about the cancer diagnosis, what kind was it?

You ask a great question, lots of us wondered about glucosamine when we first started this journey. Here are some posts that may help:
