Dog Arthritis Treatment

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

I have an Old English Sheep dog, he is now almost 10 years old and he´s got arthritis, so besides Rymadil, is theer anything I can do to easen the pain and disconfort? Does excersise help?

I know, go see a vet, but wondered if anyone had experience or insight…
My lab-mix is an altered rescued female we’ve had for about 6 years. Her guestimated age is 8 or 9.
About three weeks ago she started limping on one leg and had buggery eyes. There was no obvious cause for the limp (no objects in her paw, no obvious area of sensitivity when touched/pressured). About a week later, her eyes cleared up, but her other front leg started hurting. Now, three weeks into it, all four legs are stiff, she thinks long and hard before getting up, has difficulty going down stairs, lays down all day, and no longer gets in the garbage!
Is this just arthritis? I got some doggy aspirin for her, but can’t really tell if it works because she just lays down all the time. She is certainly not herself, and it seemed to happen in a short amount of time.
Thanks in advance!

Cannot help with Yucca Intensive, but I use Voltaren Emulgel on my cattle dog. It works after an hour or so. I apply it once per day after activity. The dog’s limp dissapears. Also, am now giving the dog fish oil Tabs. They assist with reduction of arthritic pain in humans. Worth a try.

My dog is about 9 years old. He is overweight. He is a mix of a pitbull and black lab. He is in pain all the time just by moving from one place to another. We don’t over feed him. He has had a problem with his back legs, hip area for a long time. My parents say that he has arthritis. My parents haven’t called the vet and they are thinking about putting him down if he doesn’t get better. (and I really don’t ant that.) What would the vet say? (When I ask my parents about call him they say they just might put him down. :[ ) What would be good to give him for the pain? We give him K9 aspirin. Any other information you think I might have forgotten that you think would be a good idea please let me know. Thank you.
