Comments on: Has Anyone Ever Tried Dr. Frank’s Pet Pain Spray? http://jude8753.com/2009/06/03/has-anyone-ever-tried-dr-frank%e2%80%99s-pet-pain-spray/ Navigating Life The Best I Can Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:50:34 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Gregg http://jude8753.com/2009/06/03/has-anyone-ever-tried-dr-frank%e2%80%99s-pet-pain-spray/comment-page-1/#comment-19548 Gregg Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:18:38 +0000 http://jude8753.com/?p=1742#comment-19548 My dog does very well on Dr. Franks. I do have to use an extra spray than what is called for, but I can live with that. Whenn my dog was in pain, she was all hunched over and could barely move. She runs around like a little puppy most of the time now on Dr. Franks. The human version didn't do much for me, but I'll keep getting it for my dog as long as it keeps working.

Our fox terriers are 13 and 14 the younger could hardly walk ant the older did not like to walk. They are both doing well and walk every day and running when they get the chance. For the price it a bargin. Good luck to all that try it. It gets 4 stars from me. We have been using Dr Franks spray for over a year now.

Both are 10+ years. I ordered this and have reordered. I'm here to tell you that dogs that could not get up steps to our porch are now doing so. It has greatly helped.

He had trouble on and off for a few years, but he took a big turn for the worse at the beginning of last winter. He could barely stand, trying to lay down was torture and he was miserable. We started giving him glucosamine daily (chewable tablets for pets from Trader Joe's) and it was helping somewhat, but he was still having trouble. One of my friends at work suggested a product called Duralactin (www.Duralactin.com), which contains dried milk protein, said to be an anti-inflammatory. She gave it to her own eldery Saint Bernard and noticed significant improvement. We started giving it to our greyhound and noticed a lot of improvement within a couple of weeks. He was able to stand up and lay down again and could even go up stairs unassisted sometimes. And he started running around the yard in short bursts again, which he hadn't done in years. However, like glucosamine, it takes a few weeks for the results to show and you have to give it consistently - the problems will come back if you stop giving the dog the Duralactin. It's a little on the expensive side, but we feel it is well worth the money, and you can shop for it on amazon.com where you can usually find the best prices and sometimes free shipping. Another positive thing is that it has a vanilla flavor that dogs really seem to love. I highly recommend trying it. Another thing we found is just putting a heating pad on his hips when he's really sore. It usually brings him some relief and loosens up his joints and he sleeps like a baby cuddled under the heating pad. :-) We have a 13-year-old ex-racing greyhound who has arthritis in his hips and back legs.

I had a similar situation with and older dog, many years ago. He was very ill, incontinent, and could do little more than lie on the couch. I convinced myself that since I didn't mind caring for him and because I loved him so much, that I shouldn't "needlessly" put him down. I never took into consideration that despite the fact that he still had his faculties, he had long passed having any quality of life. Dogs, unlike any other pet we will ever have, will do ANYTHING to please us, including trying to soldier on when they are in constant pain. As strange as it sounds, if you truly love your friend, end his suffering peacefully and cherish his memory forever.

She also had become increasing lathargic. Skepticaly,we tried the pain spray. The first month of trail did not show very much visible effectivness and I canceled future orders. Now on the second month of using a slightly increased dosage we have noticed a moderate improvement with her movements and also an up tick in her activitness. We have decided to keep using the pain pet spray as it appears to do have at least moderate results for her.

Suspect it was my use of the little sideways arrows to enclose the quotes, as I'm used to doing when quoting from an email. My bad. Quotation marks next time, I promise. My first comment was a reply to her saying that dogs aren't aware that medicine will help them. The second part was my agreement with her suggestion that there was nothing to lose by trying the spray.
