Hello, I have a 10 year old cocker mix with hypothyroidism. She is on meds for this but is indeed over weight. Over 60 pounds. My collie pup pushed her down a month ago and she was doing better after limping for a couple weeks.

Then she slipped on a uncarpeted area under the table and since she has had horrid problems getting up. And only walks a couple steps before sitting back down. I am sure she has arthritis as well. But she is happy perky etc. But wants to go and just cant. I help her everytime she wants outside or in. She has a great appetite too.

I give her some pain meds from vet 1/2 dermax per day, but like natural better. I found promaxol which is all natural and helps a great deal. Well now I see blackstrap mollasses may be good. Does anyone know what ingredients are in it? I bought it today but there were 2 kinds. One said it was (unsulfered) PLease let me know if you can. I bought one that appears to have l think 70 mil. Iron in it.. As well as other stuff. I'll keep checking back. Thank you kindly! Nan

For the hypothyroid, you may want to try Lugols iodine, 1-2 drops in their water. It is essential mineral that animals as well as people are missing. We are treating our cats right now w/ iodine. its a wonder.
