ok.. right now he is eating 3 cups of hills p/d and 1 cup of hills large puppy... he gets 5ml of vitimin c via IV every other day and he gets his batryl vitamin b once a day... and now i'm going give him his omega 3 twice a day.. "fish oil" pill by natures blend?.. i have to go look exactly what it is... he likes vitimin c though works very good.. he's energetic and doesn't limp as much.. which is great

That is good news. I would take away the puppy foods now- too much protien. And increase the Vit C a little bit, or try everyday. Vit C only stays in their system for about 24 hrs.

First welcome to the forum!! Nikki is right, he should have the vitamin C everyday, and Definitely no puppy foods, it does have too much protein and can cause them to grow to fast and cause growing pains. Keep us updated on him, and post pictures soon!!!

Now I am confused, I didn't think that it would be too much protein but too many calories and/or carbohydrates (sp). isn't also too much calicum?? more so than protein??

Right now... he eats 3 cups of hills P/D in the morning along with a hills puppy pretty much dogs less then one year... and he gets his omega 3 from his fish oil pill and his vitimin b from bynaxol... i think thats how ya spell it.. either way.. its vitamin B...
I can honestly say he has been alot more alert and happier with the vitimin c.. he's running.. well hobbling around pretty good... when he doesn't think about his leg he's runnin around acting retarded as always.. but hey.. he is still a "puppy".. or is it a colt?... he's gigoondus... i'll put some pictures up here soon.. how do you get your pictures to show under your name and stuff like that?...
