Question
Myboston recently threw out his back I have him on steroids and cage rest. I want to know if there is anything that I can give him so it doesn't happen again or reduces the risk.

Answer

Tootie loves nuvet
Hi Chris - I am glad you contacted me because long term steroid usage is not good for the liver.  How about we try some natural supplements --- Make sure you talk to the vet about lowering the steroid dosage slowly, as to not shock his system.

1.  How about just leash walking / NO ball play ( no fast jumps or runs.... for another 3 weeks)

2.  Please get this baby onto some Salmon oil - A good quality one is : Grizzley or Yummy chummies brands - found in many pet stores: YOU are looking for only PURE salmon oil...
Give your baby 1 full teaspoon per day - mixed into his food.
This is great for hips, legs , spine, and joints, too.

3.  Please call the NuVET Gals and get this Boston onto the NuVET Wafer Supplements and the NuJoint program.  NuVET and NuJoint will aide in healing and strengthening your Boston!
Also, the NuJOINT will help to reduce or many even Prevent future arthritis.
CALL in as they will ship out to you VERY FAST -  this is Holistic and NOT sold in any pet stores-
VETs and Holistic vets refer many dogs and cats to NuVET each day:
