I wish I'd taken 'before and after' movies, but I had no idea there was gonna be a 'before & after'.
Touille has had back-end degeneration gradually getting worse for quite a while. In the last few weeks or so he's been actually dragging his back feet pads-up with claws bringing up the end.
I'd read about some people having results with glucosamine & chondroitin - even one 'miracle' post - and I've always giving my kids dog food with glucosamine & chondroitin - but thought I'd give the pills a try cause it's all I could do. I started him on it January 20 not expecting much if anything. But it's made an amazing difference. Before the end of the month his feet were always right side up and underneath him again, not dragging behind, he's clumsy but actually using them when he walks rather than dragging them uselessly.
I don't believe it myself but I'm seeing it. First I wasn't sure his feet were always under him, then I wasn't sure it wasn't a few day fluke, then I was so excited I wanted to post about him personally but didn't want anyone to read it and try the drugs & hope if the benefits were only short for Touille. (we've all tried some of the 'miracle cures' and been disappointed and worse - felt newly helpless).
So I don't know why the amazing change in Touille, why it happened, if it will last, but it is too amazing to say nothing, isn't it? I just hope that nobody thinks it's gonna work for sure on their kid cause if it did we'd have all heard. I just know what it did for this kid. I'd hate to cause anyone else letdown because of my incredible joy tho. So i'ts just a Can-be, not a Will-be, eh?
For reference - I got the Webber Naturals Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM 500/400/400 capsules (in our London Drugs flyer for $9.99 til sunday the 7th btw) and cut one in half and crushed it and divided the powder by 4 and gave one dose a day in a bit of chocolate syrup & water and he thinks it's a treat. So each pill is 8 doses.
Lord I hope some other kid(s) have the same benefit Touille has so far..
