[Dailydrool] vitamin c for hip problems????

[Karen]

Ruby Doo, who has bad hip dysplasia is on Vit C.  A vet researcher (and friend 
of the family) 

recommended she receive Glucosamine Chondroitin with MSM-3000 mg plus Vit C 
-1500 mg
every day.   All of her studies were showing that the combo helps to prevent the 
breakdown and 

stimulates the growth of cartilage and muscle. Ruby Doo has been on the combo 
for years.   She
is still going strong at 9 yrs old.  The best part is she surpassed Doc's 5 yr 
old mark of having to
be sent to the Rainbow Bridge because her hips would go out.

What I found with the SOD Boswellia is that you do have to experiment to find 
the right dose.  

Ruby Doo gets 4 tabs/day in summer and 5 tabs/day in winter. She stays 
comfortable most of the time
but does have those days when she has to take Rimadyl 50 mg but those days are 
mostly in the 

winter and less than twice a month.
