Does Synovi G3 work for your dog with luxating patella?
March 14, 2019 10:30 AM Subscribe
My small dog (terrier) was diagnosed with luxating patella stage 1. I happily discovered that there are braces, exercises, and massage options, and that surgery is a last resort. I was also recommended Synovi G3.
My understanding is human supplements can be useless or even dangerous. I can't imagine the standards for animal supplements are better. I've also read that the human version of this "joint relief" supplement has mixed reviews as to whether it actually does anything. Have you given this to your dog, and did it work? Also, any info on braces, or exercises, that worked for you is greatly appreciated. Feel free to me-mail me. I know you're not my vet, etc. (Sorry - I don't know how to add a photo of her!)

They are in fact often interchangeable. My dog and I have shared UTI meds.

Are these treatments better than doing nothing? My understanding of luxating patella stage 1 is that it is not painful. I do not treat my dog for this condition.

Response by poster: I was told it would get progressively worse if left untreated. She is holding that leg up fairly frequently.
