Is Flexadin glucosamine safe for my bunny's hip and joint pain?

The dosage of 0.7 ml is absolutely fine, it's even slightly low for rabbits, there is no need for all the treatments he was given, vitamin K has nothing to do with it and you never try to make a rabbit vomit, no matter what.

Osteo biflex can be given to dogs safely, but there are a number of products formulated specifically for dogs that work well, the best of these in my opinion is Cosequin. It's important to have him checked by your vet if you haven't already done so to determine the cause of lameness or joint problems so the underlying cause can be managed correctly. Your vet is also the best person to ask about the correct dosage of any over the counter medication you're considering giving your dog. Adding fish oil to his diet will help protect and ease joint pain and a product called Adequan, an injection available from your vet is excellent for slowing and healing arthritis.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! No. Vetriflex is a joint supplement that can help with cartilage wearing. It is NOT a pain medication. It can help with mild discomfort in SOME dogs. It can help with cartilage damage with in the hip joint, so yes it can help hip dysplasia. Since Coco is painful it is obviously not enough for her. Have a good day

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! All joint supplements aren't regulated like normal drugs so there is a huge issue with if they even do anything for the pet. A lot of studies of these drugs in the human and veterinary world have shown that the labels do not even match what is in the product. With that being said I would choose a different brand and spend your money on something that actually works. You can buy this product but you will be wasting your money even if it is cheaper. I would use Dasuquin or Cosequin. https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=34367

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Chinti. There are a variety of prescription pain medications that can be given to rabbits. Rimadyl is commonly used for arthritis. This needs to be prescribed by her veterinarian though to ensure proper dosing. I hope this information helps!

This appears to be a good supplement. Glucosamine and fish oils are beneficial in many dogs that may be prone to developing arthritis or other bony disorders as they get older. However, scientific data on these types of supplements is lacking. Similar to humans, they might help and don't hurt anything. If you want to give them to Jesse, that is fine, but I do not routinely recommend these types of supplements in young-ish dogs.

I am sorry to hear about Trick. It sounds like you attempted to attach x-rays but we do not see any here on our site. I would definitely recommend repeating x-rays if he hasn't had them done in a few years as "bunny hopping" is somethign we often see in hip dysplasia and sometimes it doesn't appear until they are older, so things could definitely appear different in an x-ray taken today. If neuropathic pain is suspected a drug called Gabapentin can sometimes be helpful and is also used as a secondary drug when NSAIDs like previcox are not enough. In severe cases of hip dysplasia surgery is recommended.
