Suggestions for helping my Pit through hip dysplasia?

[BTK1022555]

He's still eating and barely walking, He's been a good boy and I just want to give him a pain-free rest of his life and don't really want to guess on the dosage or anything if anybody knows anything I would appreciate any info you have.

Hey buddy HUGE pit lover, my American/bullmastif is 5 and a savage sorry to say. man that is one of the ailments that will end up causing the animal so much pain and Pitts are so fucking loyal and true they mask the pain from owners. I would work on inflammation as that is what is causing the most pain aside from the bone to bone......So sorry to hear about it We dont deserve the love and loyalty a dog gives I can tell you are a great parent to em hope you all can find comfort.

To help dogs with hip dysplasia, you can provide a balanced diet that includes high-quality food and supplements like glucosamine and chondroitin, which may help reduce joint inflammation. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight and incorporating physical therapy or hydrotherapy can improve their comfort and mobility.

Hey thank you very much friend, I appreciate it, I was leaning more towards painkillers or special k or something but dealing with the inflammation like you said is probably going to do a lot better. Is Gavapentin OTC? Is it Gabapentin?
