How to ease arthritis?

[Miss Lydia]

How about DMSO, I use it for fibromyalgia, it is great and also used on Race Horses so why not a duck? I mix mine with Sweet Basil and Aloe Vera Gel to make it easier to apply.

one of my guinea pigs had arthritis and the vet recommended to supplement with flax seeds because of the omega 3

 

[Miss Lydia]

Thats a good idea sydney13, I also use flax seed oil and give it to my dogs.

The vet had me put DSMO on a duck's bumblefoot, so it should be OK.

 

[Miss Lydia]

did it help with the bumble foot?

Not enough, she was also on antibiotics and then we finally opted for surgery. Originally I found someone on BYC using DSMO for bumblefoot on their chicken and so I tried it but it wasn't getting it. When I told the vet about the DSMO she wanted me to continue with it so I know that at least it doesn't hurt. She wanted me to make sure the foot was really clean before I put it on or it might carry bacteria into the tissue. Then I dipped a Q-tip into the DSMO and spread it on the foot.
How do you use it Lydia?

I've got Rheumatoid Arthritis. Didn't see any improvement with Glucosamine/Chondroitin. Tylenol helps some. Whisky is good.

I'd consider a "Body Transplant" ....OR ..if that is not available...I'd settle for a "Brain-Transplant".

Oh, to transplant my 70 year old brain into a 25 year old body.

I also use MSM and so does my friend for her dog. It is an amino acid so it will not hurt them, and I am pretty sure that your body just flushes out what it doesn't use so you can't over due.
A good source for it in bulk form is purebulk.com they also give a fair amount of info about each of their products. I think you can get something like a 2 pound bag for less than $30. including the shipping.
