yes
you can generally tell when a dog has arthritis because it starts walking funny/ with a limp or very sluggish, best thing to do is take it to the vet for a check up
Please take your dog to your vet first for a complete exam, and then ask your vet what he or she thinks is best given to your dog. Your dog is too precious to take the advice of anyone other than a qualified vet.
it's perfectly fine, my 11 year old dog with arthritis runs around all the time!
Where is the pain?
There could be several reasons why your dog won't climb the stairs anymore. It could be due to pain or discomfort, fear or anxiety, physical limitations, or cognitive decline. It's best to consult with your veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues and to determine the best course of action for your dog.
No it can"t!
Where is the location for the celebrex commericial on the lake with the boat and dog
No it is not humane to shoot your dog , the best thing is take your dog to an animal hospital and have them put them down its better because if you shoot the dog it will suffer more because the bullet doesn't kill the dog right away.
If the pain is joint-related, yes. Usually, arthritis medicine tends to be an anti-inflammatory, which also has some pain relieving properties. If the pain is from another source, it's questionable if arthritis medicine will help. Always see the vet to be sure. If you love your dog, see your vet. If you don't have the $ for it, get a loan from someone.
My GSD who is a large 80 Kilo dog is suffering from arthritis can i give him small amounts of Co-Dydramol to help relieve his pain ?
No. They make special dog medication for joint problems
You should look at this website . http://www.recoverysa.com/arthritis_pro.htm
Joint supplements, anti-inflammatories, pain medication.
just remember if it was an old dog maybe it was in pain eg. arthritis so its out of its misery and its in a better place :)
There are many sites where one can find material on dog arthritis online. Some of the best sites are heel that pain, daily mail, pet MD and many more.
Your dog may be in pain, he could have arthritis, it is best to have him (her) checked out by your vet.
I will strongly advise that you do not - there is no evidence that yucca root has any beneficial effects on arthritis and it may have negative side effects that could cause a medical emergency. If you believe your dog would benefit from medication to alleviate arthritis pain, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian. He/she can figure out what is causing the arthritis and if indicated can provide a prescription for medication to help your dog feel better.
