Homeopathic remedies for hip dysplasia in dogs

OK, today I am going to write about homeopathic remedy in treatment of hip dysplasia, which we actually tested. Well, I will also mention ligament injuries in the elbows.

Arnica Montana 30X in tablet form.
We used the brand called "Hyland's". You can get it here (remember the "KOR780" code when checking out in order to get a 5 USD off discount!)

Really helps in pain relief if your poor doggie limps and limps. It is ABSOLUTELY safe compared to NSAIDs which are normally prescribed by vets. The dosage for small and medium sized dogs is pretty much the same as for children. Dosage for all breeds weighing over 110-120 lbs (50-55 kg) should be the same as for a grown-up human.

I totally recommend Arnica Montana instead of NSAIDs. It must be given as a part of the treatment programme for hip dysplasia (raw food, high doses of vitamin C, Glucosamine+Chondroitin product and bromelain). Please check my blog for information on the recommended alternative treatment.

If your pet has a ligament injury (a sprain in the elbow) or hip dysplasia which is diagnosed by a vet and x-rays show no fracture of the bones, and if you are intended to massage your pet as a part of the treatment - use the arnica montana ointment or gel. Rub it and massage it gently into the skin area with least fur and closest to the joint or the ligament (normally you can feel the area is very warm, i.e. inflamed). Continue massaging the pet and after you're done, wash off the excess ointment/gel with warm water. Do not allow your dog to lick and swallow the ointment! That's why you should massage well and for at least 5 minutes twice or three times daily. Pay attention to the pet's behavior during the massage. Do not press too hard or cause pain to your four-legged friend. Be gentle. If careful massaging makes your pet cry and bite, please turn to the vet. In case with a sprained elbow on a mastiff girl, arnica cream massaged around the elbow gave her a great relief and a quick recovery.

Please think well before giving NSAIDs to your dog even if they are prescribed by the vet. Prolonged intake of drugs like rimadyl (carprofen) damages the dog's liver, kidneys and more vital organs. These drugs WILL reduce your cherished pet's life.  Alternative pain killers like arnica montana  in tablet form, ointment or cream, high dose of vitamin C, bromelain won't cause your dog's overall health any harm.

    1. Hi Martha. Arnica is mostly for acute pains and bruising. Try giving your dog a combination of Bromelain (away from food) and glucosamine+chondroitin+MSM supplement. Start giving her a C vitamin supplement (1000-3000 mg per day). If you do not supplement with what i have just mentioned, she will be less mobile and in pain. All the best to you!

  3. Thanks for sharing this post with us. I am little bit interested to get more information about Canine Hip Dyplesia. I like to share my opinion on Canine Hip Dyplesia.In case you have had x-rays taken of your canine's hips at your common vet, you will have been referred to an orthopedic surgeon. The surgeon goes to advocate numerous surgical choices on your canine. I'm going to provide you a really transient overview of those surgical procedures. You will want to debate your canine's choices with the surgeon. this is a great blog. If you want to know more about this visit here Canine Hips.
