Poor GinDog has been hobbling around for the last couple of weeks and an x-ray has confirmed he has arthritis. He is a rescue, his previous life was on the streets so he hadn't had a healthy life before coming to us. He is about 10 years old.
The vets have prescribed pain relief but it is making him vomit. This is apparently the most effective medication but they have said they will change it if this happens, he does have a sensitive tummy. He's a bit overweight and is now on vet-prescribed dog food to help him lose weight.
Do any of you have experience of arthritis in dogs? Massage, alternative treatments, anything we can do to help him feel more comfortable?
