Hi all, my sixteen year old friend is suffering from a bad bout of hip dysplasia. His arthritis is so bad, he is having a hard time getting around. Once he up and running though, he seems to manage. We started adequan injections two weeks ago, but so far, I haven't seen any progress. Has anyone used it before? Was it successful? PLease let me know and any other ways I can help him. Thanks.

Hi Simon,
My brother George had really bad arthrits (he's at the rainbow bridge now) He was'nt on Adequan , he took Rimadyl. I guess some vets also give tramdol (ultram) for pain.
Me and mom looked up Adequan on the internet...looks like some serious stuff. Says it's supposed to start working within a few hours.
Sorry I could'nt be more help....maybe if you posted on different sites someone out there has to have tried it!!!
Good luck
