could anyone please help,with arturitis problem with a german sheperd age 5, 6 is there any medication what might help the situation, thank you

Hi Mick,
Very sorry to hear that your dog has arthritis, all I can say is to have a word with your local vet and see what they recommend,

Hi Mick u could try giving Glucosamine tablets.. they really help one of my dogs.

Yeah, definitely see the vet first, but here is a site that has herbal meds that some people swear by. Glucosamine included. http://www.dorwest.com

I agree, take your dog to the vet as he will be able to do a full diagnosis and offer the best advice.

This may help:-
"For dogs suffering with arthritis, regular exercise is important to help maintain a proper body weight. NSAIDS or non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs are the most common form of pharmaceutical arthritis treatments for your dog. Over-the counter dog arthritis treatments such as glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, omega fatty acids and Boswellin may also be prescribed by your veterinarian."
