Uh oh..........skimom's dog had a leg issue last week. Her doggie got a shot if I remember right.
Healing vibes sent for the lame doggie. Peace for you, Flake.It was beautiful and soothed a soul, yar?
(I wish I could have had both dogs with me but my chocky girl has come up lame--front left leg
Yeah she did. My girl is so young for this though, she's only just turned 5. I've just purchased some (oh man, whatsit called Glausomi...something?) tablets and was going to ask Morgan or Spidey about dosage. They are for humans but dogs can also have them.

I see now they have different formula depending on need/ age
There are charts for dosage.
Let me ck on the regular glucosamine for you.

Glyco Flex 3 - Joint Support Supplements for Dogs
Glucosamine:
1. Glucosamine
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring compound composed of a sugar and an amino acid and is involved with the body's production of joint lubricants and shock absorption necessary to maintain healthy cartilage and joint function. It is manufactured in the body in the joint cartilage and is one of the major components involved with the formation of the critical lubricants and shock absorbers necessary to maintain and restore healthy joint performance. Glucosamine sulfate is also one of the building blocks of articular cartilage and aids in the rebuilding of damaged cartilage.
Glucosamine sulfate is also beneficial to other other body structures besides joints. It is involved in the formation of nails, tendons, skin, eyes, synovial fluid, bone, ligaments, heart valves, and in mucous secretions of the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts. It is created in the production of proteins associated with cellular growth and structure.
Glucosamine as a nutritional supplement is extracted from crab, lobster, or shrimp shells. There are three forms of glucosamine, so when purchasing it, look for the sulfate form because it seems to be absorbed and utilized the best. Because dietary supplements are unregulated, the quality and contents may vary widely. Be sure to choose a product sold by a well established company and consult your veterinarian as to which would be best for your dog.
2. Chondroitin Sulfate
Research on chondroitin sulfate suggests it may be beneficial in preventing stress injuries to joints as well as aiding in the repair of damaged connective tissue. Unlike pain killers, which only serve to dull the pain, chondroitin sulfate addresses the disease process itself. Chondroitin sulfate may actually help the body to repair damaged cartilage and help restore joint integrity. It may also protect existing cartilage from premature breakdown as well as keep cartilage tissue hydrated and assist in cushioning impact stress.
Some studies suggest that supplementation with chondroitin sulfate can reduce joint pain significantly. Other studies have shown that combining chondroitin sulfate with glucosamine might improve each substance's beneficial effects, though this is not universally accepted.
Because chondroitin production by the body decreases with age, supplementation with this compound may be especially helpful for older dogs with arthritis.
Other Joint Sparing Products
The green-lipped mussel called Perna canaliculus is a source of chondroitin and other beneficial nutrients, and the sea cucumber is believed to provide assistance in the elimination of pain. They provide essential nutrients required by cartilage. Another arthritis fighting supplement is called methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). It provides sulfur compounds that may inhibit pain.
