    Home remedies for dog arthritis?

    My dog has arthritis. The vet recommended a prescription of rimadyl for arthritis, which didn't help him all that much. Also after doing some research, I learned that it actually breaks down the joints over time anyway despite providing a feeling of relief for a while. I started giving my dog...

    Hi there! So I have two 12-week old runners, one drake one duck**, and I am having a tough time giving them grit.

    About to order chicks, grobel plus-b supplement?

    The hatchery that I'm ordering from offers an option of getting Grogel plus b supplement. Says that they send enough for 100 chicks. I'm probably getting 10. So... Is this a good supplement? Is it a waste with so few chicks? Ready, Set... GO!
