Question
My dog is 9 yrs. old, x-rays revealed bone spurs on left side- I was given povicox for use only when he is in extreme pain -   My fiancee acquired some from a vet for personal use with knee pain.  I asked my vet & she said it isn't safe - do you know either way? I am  willing to explore all avenues (even the expensive ones!) of relief. I bought the 450.00 therapy foam bed & he doesn't moan at night anymore yeah!

Answer
Oh, Poor doggie!  I looked up the Povicox, and can't find much info on this.  Lookes like it is a narcotic.

You can try some healthy options.  Please see your vet for anti-inflammatory drugs that may help.  Here are some low cost ideas for your little old kid.

Oh, the foam bed is a Wonderful Idea!  I wish that I was your child!!

Ok, let's try a few things to help this kid.  My ideas are long term nutritional options.
First off - Until you get more help from your vet for pain.  If he is not on anything else give one baby asprin per day - this is an 81 mg BABY asprin.  Safe for the belly because they are coated, please only one per day.

Next, you can try some Turmeric - This is a wonderful and natural anti-inflammatory herb: here is a link so you can read about it.

Last, try some NuJoint Plus - NuJoint Plus is guaranteed to reduce the pain and swelling OR your money back:
NuJoint plus is sold by breeders, groomers and vet offices:  Buy From the Manufacturer and save $$$-
Here is the link - Look for NuJoint Plus - use order code 81098 / they don't sell to the public without an order code.

I sure hope my ideas help!!  Write to my by e-mail if you need any help.

Don't forget the NuJOINT plus / again, they guarantee it.
It will cost you about 1.25 per day for this Natural Supplement
