Question

Truman
Hi Marie.  My sweet old timer, Truman, ruptured his ACL this week while running on the beach.  Dr confirms it is ruptured ACL.  Truman also has arthritis in both hips.  I'm skeptical of surgery at Truman's advanced age, but i can't bear to see him become lame.  How can I avoid surgery & help him enjoy his last few years of life?

Guys - Let me know if you need more help - besides the supplements for ACL repair we can talk foods too.

Hi Scott and Truman!  Boy, I would sure like to help you guys Avoid surgery.
Your boy is 12 and arthritic so he is not a good candidate for recovery from ACL surgery.
Most vets will still WANT to cut and do surgery even with the age and arthritis.

Let's get this boy on a good feeding and supplement program with little activity.  Truman's exercise will be very limited for the next 3-4 weeks - YOU will need to have him leash walk as to Avoid runs or jumps.
No ball play or jumping for 3-4 weeks... SORRY Truman


1.  Limited activity
2.  NuVET and NuJOINT Supplements - reduces the pain, and injury to joints
3.  Turmeric for pain and swelling

Turmeric Typical Dosage for Truman's size:

A standardized extract of turmeric supplying 400 - 600 mg of curcumin can be taken three times per day in capsules or tablets
( *I would start him on 2 per day : Make sure your Vet knows you are trying supplements and rest as your first line of action)
Turmeric can be found at many stores that carry vitamins and herbs for Humans.
Dogs take Turmeric all the time.... but was made for human consumption.

Next :  NuVET ( JUST 1 per day LONG term)
NuJOINT PLUS ( 3 to 4 per day for 1 month / after that you can go down to 2-3 per day LONG term)
NuVET and NuJOINT can be taken along with anything your vet gives you.
ALL natural and very safe... Order below : holistic
