[Dailydrool] Glucosamine chondroitin or SOD boswellia?

[Elizabeth Lindsey]

Young Charlie was born with front feet and legs that are so crooked  
and misshapen that when he lies down and crosses his front paws, they  
look as if they're finally on the correct legs. When he stands up, he  
has a perfect first position, except that he rolls in terribly over  
his insteps. In ballet, this is a sign of poor technique, and I'm  
afraid it's going to keep him out of the company.

Lately it seems as if his rolling in has become more pronounced and  
his crooked right front leg is jutting out over his ankle a little  
more. I've also noticed that he's been walking more slowly on the  
leash. I don't know whether this is because he's my little engineer  
who has to carefully examine everything in his path with his nose or  
whether it's because his front legs and feet are making it harder or  
more painful for him to walk faster. Or maybe he's slow because it's  
still so stinking hot outside. I know the heat slows me down  
considerably.

So now I've been wondering what to do. Should I try SOD boswellia or  
glucosamine/chondroitin? Should I have the vet check Charlie for  
arthritis? Should I take a wait-and-see approach? Perhaps Charlie  
really is just slow-poking along merely because he feels compelled to  
smell every single blade of grass? But maybe he's feeling achy in his  
joints... I wonder if consulting a pet communicator should be my  
first step? (I wrote that last only half in jest!)

Words of wisdom would be much appreciated!
