Question by Blueberrygal: Degenerative joint disease/hip in Maltese/Poodle 5yrs old?
I took my baby in because she was limping-it was a bad sprain, After xrays the Vet says her femoral neck in the hip is eroding away! She is not that old. He gave her Synovi G3 chews for Glucosamine with Chondroitin. If and when she needs the surgery:$ 3500 for one hip-and, always they say-within a yr or two, the other hip goes out. $ 7000 is alot for me-Iam laid off on and a senior. He wants her on a low fat diet-she is over-weight. Iam giving her the Flint River Ranch food from online and yogurt for pro-biotics. I have read that Canidae is low fat and good. I feel so bad about this-she is my first dog and I adopted a 2nd dog. I give them the best of everything. 2 months ago, my Miss Cookie had an infection with bladder stones/struvite. That cost a small fortune and they dissolved and she is fine, was on special Hill’s SD/stone dissolving food. I give her vit c-to help her urine be more acid. I have heard about Diatomaceous Earth from Wolf Creek Ranch and the miracles it can perform-only the human grade is safe for humans and pets, though. Do all dogs go through this thing with the arthritis and hip and knee pain? I don’t want to seem like a whiner-but, this is very expensive. But, there is nothing I can do-Iam ‘into it, now’! and, I will see it through. But, Iam fighting back for the healthy miracle cure. What low fat food do you like best, please, for small dogs? Heard of any miracle cures for joints etc. thanks so much!

No such thing as a quick fix for degenerating body parts on humans or animals. I am not going to be mean, but please stop wasting time trying to save money here. This dog is only 5 years old, I bet a nice “hybred breeder” created this poor little creature too. Please be an advocate for stopping these breeders!

That being said, honestly – you can give all the supplements you want and all the vet prescribes – but surgery is the only thing that is going to work. Start saving now, apply for Care Credit and do 1 surgery at a time. Do not wait until both go out because the recovery is much harder on them. You dog has to lose weight – the additional weight is hurting them physically. Like humans, being over weight aka fat, will hurt joints and cause more of a physical inability to properly exercise, along with decreased energy. No easy way out of this and that is the truth.

A suggestion however, contact a vet school. Sometimes a vet school will do the surgery for a greatly reduced price due to being able to teach the students how to do this surgery. They are professional and take great care of your pet. It is an option, right?
