My dog is 15 years old and has arthritis. It might be too late to teach her to use the pot too.
Has this thread gone to pot, or did it start there?
Ohhhhhhh...poor doggy.
Have you tried etodolac, which is a vet Rx similar to Motrin? It worked wonders for our 11 ( almost 12 ) year-old dog. It is via presciption only.
An OTC treatment worth trying is glucosamine & condrotin... its results vary from one dog to the next according to our vet- some have no benefit at all, some get up and dance. You adjust the dosage according to weight, like you would for a child.
