My dog's injury:

Kinsey has a badly strained hip. The vet gave her a shot and she has some pills. She will just need time to heal.

She is not a puppy, but eight years old. She does not realize that she is getting on in dog years.

We are relieved!

it is a deep healing herb that works. Her fur might be an impediment, but perhaps you can shave the area and a couple times a day rub the gel into the sore shoulder.

Remind Kinsey that she is not a puppy any more. She could take some lessons from my Jake: there is nothing like basking in the warm, warm sun for sprains, strains and other aches and pains
