paulus 26 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 metcam +1 however as with any anti inflammatory prolonged regular use can cause problems, you need to weigh the pro up`s and con`s. if its just a touch of soreness now and then then metcam/petcam/meloxicam every now and then will be fine, if its an old dog that requires a daily dose then i would seriously think about the side effects of long term use, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sandymere 8,261 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) Magic box or glucosamine, chondroitin, green lipped or otherwise, or any of a multitude OTC supplements but likely best would be to keep weight down, metacam as reqiured, sensible exercise. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7875192.stm Edited August 7, 2013 by sandymere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob190364 2,593 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 my old dog had arthritis, vet recommended daily dose of metacam, then previcox after metacam caused bloody stools....dog was dead within 8 months with kidney failure, kicking myself for not researching properly.....anti inflamatory every now and again when needed, definitely not daily. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sirius 1,358 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Use something that is licensed to treat Arthritis, there are a few herbal products to do this available over the counter. I am afraid many supplements can help joint problems but medicines are needed to actually treat a condition such as Arthritis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
