Forelimb/Elbow Anomaly

[Sula217]

I am an 11 mos old Newf who has Forelimb/Elbow Anomaly, a genetic affliction. There was very little information about there about it so we created a website to help breeders and owners who might have questions, want information on what it is, managing it, and more. Hope you will check it out: www.sulathenewfie.com

Thank you for posting

Victoria - Thanks for the support. Her supplements are as follows:
Glyco-Flex III
Phycox Max (in lieu of the traditional NSAIDs)
500 mg Vit C
coconut oil
Does that answer your question?

You did a wonderful job on the website. I hope Sula has a long happy life. She's lucky to have you.

Forgive me if you've already talked about this, I've been very intermittent on NN since our move. Have you seen this thread about Karen's Apache?

Poor girl. I hope she improves. I would up the vit c to 1000 mg though.

have you also tried things like devils claw for the anti inflamatory benefits, I use some of your supplements but the other ones I use are Microlactin as I tried it for my dodgy knee and it really helped.

Look forward to more updates

Hi everyone! Thank you for the nice comments, words of encouragement, and suggestions. I will definitely take them under advisement. You are also welcome to post any suggestions for other dogs with this affliction on the website under the Resources page page (at the bottom there is a Comments section) You can post any ideas, experience, etc., and you can do it anonymously. I care mainly about helping people out. Attribution is up to you. I just welcome the information. I hope to have an update the first week of December. We I went live, I started hearing from several people all over the globe and so I do have some stories and other info to update the site with, including some of the suggestions above! Thanks! I will let you all know when the update is done.

Check out http://www.sulathenewfie.com/#!livingwithfa/c17et I know Karen has been trying to offer advice.

Thanks Leonard and Snuffles! Also on that same page is the story of Junior, in Australia, who got wind of Karen's experience and applied it as well with some decent success as well. I have more stories (some good, one not as much, but I think we still need to put it out there and her owner wants to honor her and make her life matter and we can do that!) that will be coming soon. Am gathering the details and pics as I type this.
