Dog Arthritis Treatment

I want to thank each of you that responded to my question about my dog jumper. I appreciate the time each of you took to respond.
Sad to say I lost my dog this afternoon. I took him to the vets and had exrays done and it was very bad. He had massive back problems with his spine. She did say I could take him to a vet in Columbus or Pittsburg for spine surgery and if he was younger I would have really given that some thought, He went from 2pm yesterday till 8am this morning not going to the bathroom because hhe didnt want to walk . The steriods was doing nothing for him and the Tramadol was not working for pain.
I could have brought him home and put him on moraphine for pain but what kind of life would t hat be for him .
It was very hard today I was not expecting to put my dog to sleep so its been a emotional day for me. thank god I have 3 cats to come home to and my Sebrian Husky to come home to and that has helped alot today.
Once again thank you for your answers
