I have a 15 year old dog with arthritis, he can barely walk or stand. We took him to the vet yesterday and he gave us rimadryl. We have been taking it faithfully.
Is there anything else we can do for him?
If so what and what doses, how long till we see results?
Do we need to put him down?

I adopted a 13 year old dog from the pound (they were about to put her to sleep) and she has mild arthritis. I give her soft pillows to lie on and let her be on the couch but she still seems to move stiffly and lies around a lot. Is there any special food I can give her or anything? I have never had an old dog before.
