Question
Hi , My 10 year old Leonberger with spondylosis of lumbar spine for years, has also a rear toe-tapping leg, she holds
up.  The only medication that ever helped pain was Deramaxx.
After taking blood profile and giving me Deramaxx for $80, was
told she has slightly elevated Liver values and needs to be
on Denamarin as antioxidant for $80 for one month. Need alternatives to afford and treat this female.

Answer
Well, the Deramaxx has the side effect of being toxic to the liver, as you know.  You place your dog on the Denamarin and in a few months you may still have some toxic effects.

Denamarin is a very beneficial product for liver damage.  It contains extract of Milk thistle (Silybin) which is a high antioxidant, stimulates bile flow, aids digestion and helps regenerate the liver and detox the system.

WHAT WE CAN DO IS TRY YOUR DOG ON A MUCH LESS Costly Natural and Safe supplement program for the pain.... and stiffness.

Here is what I would refer you to:  Great results and they do guarantee your results.

NuVET Plus and NuJOINT plus-  Take the 60 day challenge...If you are not happy you can get 100% of your money back - And much lower in cost than the Allopathic meds from the VET.
AND no blood work needed because this is NON toxic and All Natural.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------NU JOINT for pain.....see below

NuJoint Plus™ is a natural anti-inflammatory hip and joint therapy, formulated with the finest pharmaceutical, human grade ingredients.Major considerations in formulating NuJoint Plus™ were the pharmaceutical grade quality of ingredients and their healing values, as well as the bio digestibility and utilization into the cellular framework. NuJoint Plus™ has been formulated by leading Veterinarians and Scientist to contain precise percentages of Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) and Vitamin C which will help to quickly and effectively reverse and heal the devastating effects of osteoarthritis.

NuVet Labs™ has designed a cutting edge formula that we believe will help increase your pets longevity and quality of life. Our scientists performed extensive research and experiments with the ingredients in NuJoint Plus™, finding the most powerful synergistic defense against the harm caused by osteoarthritis.




MSM supplies biologically active sulfer to animals joints. Use of MSM has been shown to reduce the rigidity of cells in the soft tissues of the body. By reducing this rigidity, fluids are able to pass more freely from the cell and this helps to reduce cell pressure, thereby reducing inflammation and pain.

Glucosamine provides the joints with the building blocks needed to repair the damage caused by osteoarthritis . Acting as a catalyst, glucosamine helps animals synthesize new cartilage needed to replace damaged cartilage caused by wear and tear. Hip dysplasia occurs when normal wear and tear break down cartilage.

Chondroitin attracts and holds fluid within cartilage tissue helping to lubricate joints, increase mobility and reduce discomfort caused by hip dysplasia. Chondroitin neutralizes the destructive enzymes that are known to damage )

Testimonial from the NuVET site:

“Worth Its Weight in Gold”



Dear NuVet Labs -


I'd like to tell you the story of our 9 year old labrador retriever, Libby. Libby has always been an outstanding dog — smart, energetic, incredibly social, and, of course, just beautiful. In fact, if she didn’t have four legs, I’d swear (and so would she!) that she is human! Other than minor issues, she has been a relatively healthy dog, as well. Up until recently, that is. A few months ago Libby started to slow down at an alarming rate. She literally lost her zest and showed no interest in everything that normally makes her happy (including us!). Our concern was so great that we brought her to the vet for a complete physical, even though she had just had one weeks earlier. The exam — including a complete blood workup and other exploratory tests — showed nothing abnormal. While we were grateful, we were still searching for answers.

This is when we learned of NuVet and we decided to give it a try. We're glad we did. A noticeable improvement could be seen after just two weeks. And now, almost four weeks since starting the supplement, I can honestly say that Libby is doing outstanding — she is back to her old self, and then some! She is truly happy again, her energy level has returned, and her mental sharpness is once again leaving new acquaintances shocked that she isn’t many years younger. We’re so happy with the product that we’ve even started her on the NuVet joint supplement to help with some hip and joint issues.

So, thank you, NuVet. I know that we can’t stop the normal aging process, but anything that can help our dogs stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible is worth its weight in gold. We also have a new puppy who has been on NuVet since he was born and we’re grateful that he started on such a solid foundation.


Sincerely,

Sheri D.

Centerville, Massachusetts
