Let me double check when I go home tonight or at lunch if I remember <G>.

How old is your dog? I also give Ascription to my lab (she is 11.5) and I

figure the possible long term liver damage is less of a worry than keeping

her out of pain. I am also going to probably switch to Rimadyl in a few

months but again would only use it long-term on an older dog.

thanks colleen!

> How old is your dog?

he is only 4 years old. but over-sized.... he is just BIG all over. i

assume that his size is affecting his joints. actually he has a few other

health problems his foot pads crack so he is lame some times -- which

is one reason why he is so big and he also has something going on with his

eyes right now. ::sigh:: my poor big baby

My pup has a spot on her pad that is just healing that she ripped off

somehow, my Dobe had a big scab on the back of his ear, and my lab has a

huge " thing " on her head like a burn. We have an old ancient wall heater and

I'm guessing since they love to lay by it they are getting burned. My poing

being it seems like if it isn't one dog, it's another!

For cracked pads you can use bag balm or if it is really bad go to a pet

store or feed store and get Corona or Horseman's Dream made for horses. Also

gets rids of callouses on elbows.

My dogs I give the meds to are only 50 lbs. I give pills twice, each pill is

as follows:

Glucosamine 250 mg

Chondroitin 200 mg

MSM 1500 mg

You can also give Vitamin C and E to help with overall health.

How tall is he at the shoulders? My dobe is 29 " at the shoulders and about

90 lbs if that gives you an idea of his weight. I don't know if pics go

through but here are two pics that show him to maybe give you an idea of

your dog's weight.
