Medication for intervertebral stenosis

Question
My 7 year old dog has just been diagnoised with the above. I am keen to know what herbal remedies I can give her to ease the pain of this condition. She is still rather mobile but is limping alot especially when she gets up from resting. She also chews her paws often and they go very red but never breaks the skin. The vet told me it could be due to the condition and the pain. She has done this since a young age and well before there were any signs of the stenosis. I have tried changing her diet from time to time but with no results. Can you offer any advice?Thank you very much.

Hi - Yes, there are many natural choices you can use to help her stay pain free or comfortable.
First off - add some vitamin E to her diet - (1) 150IU or
200 IU....
Let me know her size ( weight ) and I can give you the dosage per day.

Also, some PURE salmon oil, will be helpful for joints, and inflammation....   1-2 teaspoons per day mixed into the food.  
( follow directions on bottle for weight dosage) - YOU can find this pure salmon oil at most pet stores.

Next - The NUVET Labs makes a wonderful product called NuJOINT Plus - I would love to see you place her on that product for long term usage.  She will need 1-2 wafers per day, depending on her weight.  This will help to reduce or even stop any pain and discomfort.  NO harsh drugs and all natural / safe for her to take long term.

Along with the NuJOINT Plus most doggies take NuVET Plus which is an Excellent daily vitamin supplement.  
Please go here for more ordering info and my order code and vet/kennel referral code.  NOT sold in stores/ Mainly sold thru holistic vet offices and the manufacturer.
