Hello. Bianka has pretty significant arthritis & the mainstay of treatment is pain medication along with glucosamine & chondroitin sulfate supplements. Adding Adequan injections can be very useful, too. Going all organic will just not give her the pain relief she really needs. If you want to add some natural supplementation, you can do so with omega 3 fatty acids & a combination of Tumeric, black pepper & coconut oil ( Golden Paste ). There are several recipes available on line, but you should really consider using these in conjunction with real pain relief & the supplements mentioned. It should help her tremendously.
