 i have a bulldog who is up in age, but still catches like he is young. He gets pretty stove up after the hunt into the next couple days. Is there a specific supplement that any one would recommend to help him recover quicker.

I have a really rough catahoula that is 6.. His joints swell after a hard hunt. I have been using phycox.. They are soft chewable tabs that are made for joint support. Seems to reduce his joint swelling.

Depending on what the actual cause is, a corticosteroid like dex could help to immediately reduce swelling and stiffness. If its chronic, duralactin or similar might be your answer for preventative maintenance. Or, if he is related to Rice, you could order some antler spray Smiley

I have a bottle of duralactin left over from my old Lab. If its a chronic condition, and you want to give it a shot, PM your address.

Rimadyl is amazing for old arthritic dogs.

Glyco-Flex is also very good.
