cortaflex for dogs
I have a 12 year old gsd who has been on metacam for three years but lately it doesnt seem to be helping her at all;. I have been told about cortaflex capsules and was wondering if anyone had tried them. also I have started her on joint sticks so see if that will help her.
I did read that metacam did cause problems so I have stopped giving it to her. |

I think it is wise to be wary of the Metacam. Have you checked liver and kidney function since being on it? That said - it's a risk v benefit calculation.
I'm only familar with the Cosequin.brand Here is a run down of joint products http://www.medicanimal.com/A-compari...gs/a/ART111524 I note cod liver oil is on the list. However I have usually seen it advised against. Cortflex seems to get good reviews on Amazon. I generally check out products there before making decisions! |

Cortaflex seems to be pretty popular, but have you seen this? Made by the same company, but especially for dogs:
http://k9cortafen.com Or there's Yumove and Yumove Advance, also thought to be very effective: http://www.amazon.co.uk/YUMOVE-ADVAN.../dp/B00JITOFHS Better for your dog than long term Metacam which can cause kidney and liver damage. |

cortaflex
I got in touch with the people who supply the cortafen and they have discontinued with the product but they told me that cortaflex is good so I am hoping now that will help my Trixie who at the moment is suffering. I expect to receive the capsules tomorrow.
I will let everyone know who she is progressing . |
