My dog's Adequan shots aren't working. Should we keep giving them?
Adequan and other injectable polysulfated glycosaminoglycans (the active ingredient of adequan) showed promising results when they were first tested for use in arthritic patients, but the most recent studies suggest that it's not very beneficial. I have actually stopped recommending it, because the I have not seen sufficient data to show that they are worth the money and need for a regular injection. Some people still swear by it and may recommend in cases where everything else has failed, so that may be the reason it was given to Abbey. Considering Abbey does not appear to be getting any benefit from the injections, I would definitely question your vet about the need for further injections and also about the potential need for other medications to help with the pain. I hope that helps and Abbey feels better soon.

My horse has arthritis. What are the best treatment options available?
There are many treatment options actually. Here they are: 1) Oral joint supplements like Dasuquin or Adequan is available over the counter 2) Fish oils (pet formulated from your local pet store). These have natural anti-inflammatory properties. 3) Analgesics- strictly for pain: Tramadol OR Gabapentin from your local vet 4) Glycoaminoglycans- weekly Adequan injections for 4-6 weeks is a very effective treatment for osteoarthritis in pets. 5) NSAIDs- pet formulated only and prescribed by your veterinarian. Carprofen, Deramaxx, etc. Here is more information on osteoarthritis in pets and effective treatments to reiterate what I have suggested here. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2863

Is Adequan less effective if my vet injects it under the skin?
Adequan analogues have been tested with subcutanteous use by the FDA http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/Products/ApprovedAnimalDrugProducts/FOIADrugSummaries/ucm116139.htm however the official site for Adequan states that it should be given via IM injection via their insert http://www.adequancanine.us/pdf/AdequanCanineInsert.pdf. There is very little research/mixed results when searching for efficacy of adequan given SQ versus IM. It may be best to speak with your veterinarian about why they give it this way and if they have documentation to support it.

Is it safe to extend my dog's Adequan injections twice weekly?
Overall Adequan is considered to be very safe and rarely causes any bad reaction, indeed in some dogs it is given every 2-3 weeks even after the initial 4 weeks treatment but never twice weekly long term.

My vet says SQ for Adequan, but packaging says IM. Which is best?
I typically have people give the injections subcutaneously at home even though the packaging recommends intramuscular since a subcutaneous injection is easier to administer. Most veterinarians feel it works just as well. I would follow your veterinarians recommendation.
