    Is that regular Vitamin E? By regular I mean something humans would use.

    No hydrotherapy around here that I know of, but will look into it. Thank you.

    Is there any where that offers hydrotherapy near you? I have heard good things about it. It is so sad to see our pups age and such a helpless feeling when you don't feel like you can help them. Sending good thoughts your way for Abbey.

    Yes, regular vitamin E. I forgot about that. I give a 400 (it's not MG but whatever they use for that pill) about 3 times a week.

    Form of vitamin E is important. Alpha-tocopherol is best. I give 100ui. It is important to give E when giving fish oil (EPA/DHA) or the fish oil can deplete the body of E over time. Same in humans. Some fish oil products already contain E. A couple days a week should be fine but I give it daily for liver support and all around antioxidant.

    I just recently started supplementing with turmeric and boswellia with my 10 y/o boy and I've already noticed a bigger difference after a week than I did on any joint supplement. Might be worth looking into, you could dad 'em to Hylasport.
