A couple of things that might help your baby? The glucosamine/condrotin idea is worth trying- some people swear the addition of MSM and Yucca extract ( you find it in horse medicine ) makes a bigger difference.
Ramps, if you can fit them, are easier for an old dog to negotiate, and carpeting ( indoor-outdoor for outside ) either the steps or ramp may also help.
Backhoe, are you feeding the Main Stream Media (MSM) to your new puppy?
Shame on you!
LOL! Sorry, couldn’t resist. ;-)
How’s the canine Circular Saw?
