10 year old female beagle just diagnosed with Cushings - Ginger has passed

I'm glad to hear that Ginger is doing well...YAAA!!! And of course you can stay here, you both are family and always will be. ;) We very much want to know how you both are doing, ok?

Hugs, Lori

Absolutely stay! It is great that she is energetic and seems to be feeling well.

Thank you both so much! I was hoping it was alright. You all have been such a help, comfort and blessing to me and Ginger!
Have a question for all of you. Do any of you have any thoughts on a good supplement(s) or anything that I might ad to Ginger's food to help with mental cognitively? Sometimes Ginger just seems a little lost or like her thoughts are a million miles away. And she wanders at night like she is either restless or can't get comfortable. Also any thoughts on adding glucosamine to help with mobility? I just want her to feel the best she can for as long as she can. She does have energy and wants to get out and explore, but I do notice in the mornings she is a little slower in getting around. thanks so much!

Novofit is what some have used for cognitive issues. A
I use a come treat form of glucosamine msm chromditome for mobility.

Definitely supplements can help

Okay sounds good. I will look for both when I am out. Appreciate it very much!

Novifit is one that I have seen mentioned on the forum for canine cognitive dysfunction...LOL Sharlene and I think alike!!

This article talks about the supplements, among other things, that may help a dog with arthritis: http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/iss...s_15910-1.html

I strongly recommend Novifit right now as it has a better chance making a difference especially in the early stage of a dog's cognitive disfunction written in their pamphlets. I've been using them on Ginger for many many months who's in more advanced stage of dementia and I now believe it makes a difference when off, subtle but I do think I see a difference. They come in three different sizes depending on their weight. I hope you give it a try at least for 2-3 months as that's how long it took for me to notice something. Here's the link.

My Squirt took Novifit and it was a miracle for her. It worked quickly and without doubt beneficially. I have noticed that it seems to work differently in each dog - Squirt responded fast while Ginger has been much slower and some never responded. But it is worth a shot for sure. No prescription needed either! ;)

So if no prescription is needed where to you get it? Like PetSmart? Or Tractor Supply?

You would need to buy it on-line. Countryside Pet has it for $36.50 with free shipping (for 30 tablets for medium sized dog -- 22-44 lbs. which I assume is the range Ginger falls in). Although you don't need a prescription, I would definitely suggest that you let your vet know that you are planning on administering it. Also, if you are giving Ginger any other supplement that contains sam-E, you would need to be very careful about over-dosing.
