how do I make my dog with arthritis feel more comfortable?

Posted by kmjamal | Diseases & Conditions | Thursday 30 July 2009 1:36 pm

I adopted a 13 year old dog from the pound (they were about to put her to sleep) and she has mild arthritis. I give her soft pillows to lie on and let her be on the couch but she still seems to move stiffly and lies around a lot. Is there any special food I can give her or anything? I have never had an old dog before.

    There is a food with Glucosime (sorry about spelling) it really helped my old rotty!! And you can give her Bayer aspirin (1 pill 2 times a day) please check with the vet first. this will also help. The food that I know of that have it are Avodreme Active care and Nutro Senior formula.

    You can only use Bayer or non-buffered aspirin like baby aspirin though!! Not regular ever!!!!

    Hope this helps
