Our female Britt Maggie has arthritis- she will be 13 this year.
She has been having trouble getting up when she is laying awhile and she is stiff. We were told about Rimadyl[ sp?]
Will this help her , we have been giving her glocusamine also mixed in her food for the past 6 months but I do not see that it has helped her any.
She plays w/ Shaf our other Britt but then there are times he is trying to get her to play and she just lays there while he nudges her and nips at her. She wants to play her tail is wagging but she just can't.
So I am hoping for advice on how to help her thru this. We know she is old and we are aware of what can happen. Our Vet told us 13 is high for a Britt.
So any advice on older dogs suffering from arthritis would be helpful.
