Saw Adequan used a LOT w/ horses back in the day...no adverse side effects
EXCEPT the body grows wonderfully efficient at removing foreign substances
from the joint capsule so initially, an injection may last 2 months, the
next 6 weeks, the next a month and so on. The bad news if the original
diagnosis is arthritis/ cartilage damage etc, and you take away the pain w/o
changing exercise, you effectively speed up joint damage. Saw this a lot in
horses...
For a senior dog, wonderful stuff though.
We also did a lot w/ injectable hyaluronic acid (Gosh going back 30 years,
now it is commonplace in supplements). Similar... a real wonder drug.
Used to be HA could only be delivered to a trouble spot via injection, now,
w/ nano-technology, you (or a dog, or a horse) can take an oral version
and continuously replace what the body efficiently removes...expect
improvement to take 1-2 months though when using orally
Then, for something entirely different, snake venom. Blocks pain
response. (Didn't you ever wonder why whatever a snake captures doesn't run
away?). In the athletic/animal world this could be abused, but for people w/
chronic painful conditions this can really be a Godsend.

this medication is used for joint failure and stiffness, decreased or loss
of mobility due to the inflammation, and pain of canine osteoarthritis.
The most common joint conditions in dogs include geriatric arthritis,
traumatic joint injury, hip dysplasia, spondylitis and torn ligaments.
Geriatric
arthritis is most common in older dogs, but any of the previously listed can
occur in younger dogs. Visible signs of canine osteoarthritis include but
are not limited to:
* Any kind of limp
* Difficulty getting up
* Loss of interest in activity
* Decreased activity
* Difficulty or refusing to go up or down stairs
How Safe Is Adequan Canine?
Adequan Canine has been approved by the FDA when given in the recommended
dose. However, studies of its use in breeding and pregnant dogs have not
been done. Side effects of this medicine have been relatively mild when used
in the correct dose. Like all kinds of medication it is important to ask
your veterinarian for advice on whether it is right for your pet and what
would be the best dosage to start out with.
Side Effects of Adequan Canine
* Stinging on injection site
* Upset stomach
* Vomiting
* Diarrhea
* Depression
* Abnormal bleeding
However, Adequan Canine states that only 5 of 156 tested dogs had mild
side effects and the most common was pain upon injection. The second most
common symptom was an upset stomach. According to one study, it caused low
blood platelet count, which quickly cleared up when the dog was taken off the
medication. Some humans even tested the medication on themselves and
reported a stinging sensation upon injection which quickly cleared u

The vet gave me Adequan for Sassy back in 1995. I gave her injections for
6 months. The ball of her left hip socket was resting almost off the
socket. At the end of the six months, the ball was firmly seated in the hip
socket. I always wondered why more wasn't done in that manner. He told us
of the giraffe that wouldn't lift it's head (arthritis) after a series of
Adequan injections, the head was high as ever.
It was rumored that humans bringing in their dogs for the Adequan
injections had help with their arthritis, tool
As there ever been any known side effects from the Adequan injections?

I know I am coming into this subject late as I have been gone all day
but I have found Adequan shots to really be helpful to dogs with joint
problems. It was originally used in race horses and very few vets
seems to either know about it or recommend, probably because it is not
a big money maker. But one of my wonderful vets recommended it to me
years ago for my first GSD who had bad hips and was very arthritic as
she aged. It is given by injection and although some say it has to
done into the muscle my vet found the shots worked just as well
subQ. You give a series of shot once a week for four weeks and then
one a month or whatever works for your dog. To my knowledge there are
not a lot of side affects and I have used it on several of my old dogs
to relieve pain from arthritis - all with no adverse reactions. I
have also recommended it to several of my friends and they also found
it to be successful. On one of my dogs several years ago, I could
tell if I had gone past the one month period as when he jumped on my
bed, he would yelp! Give him a shot and he would be could for another
month. If you have a vet that will work with you, after the initial
four week series, you can give the shot your self.
