I have a 11 year old female chihuahua.
Lately she has done it about 2 times but it is like her legs fell asleep or something but she will go to walk and fall and her legs tremble alot. I dont know what it is, at all.
Do I need to get her daily baby asprin or what?
Thanks in advance!

I have a 50 pound american staffordshire terrier. her vet just diagnosed her with arthritis in both of her knees. As of now she doesnt need surgery but she is on a 1000MG glucosamine pill once a day for the rest of her life to make her joints more fluid her vet says i can give her 1 adult aspirin twice a day at the most when it seems her arthritis may be bothering her (like after she is outside or something). She is not overweight AT ALL very in shape and muscular very healthy otherwise. I am just looking for some suggestions on what else could help ease my dogs arthritis (she is about 5 years old we think..she was adopted). Thank You

Can young dogs get arthritis?

I have a black lab (i am pretty sure he is not full) who is only 3. Today he started limping pretty badly, he isn’t whimpering, is still playful and rambunctious, but he is acting like it hurts to walk on the front legs. Last year, about this same time, he did this same thing only favored a back leg. I took him to the vet and she couldn’t find anything wrong (no x-rays were done) and gave him some anti-inflammatories. He was better within a day or so. So, I have no idea what is wrong with my boy, but im starting to wonder with the temperatures getting so cold (they are dropping to the 20s at night here) if maybe he has arthritis which flares in cold weather. Is this a possibility in a dog who is only 3? If so, does anyone have any suggestions to help my little man out?

My old dog developed arthritis. I took it to a veterinarian who gave it “Stem Cell Therapy” and cured it. Where it once sat in pain motionless, now runs and plays with much younger dogs.
Calusa Veterinary in Boca raton Florida performs this therapy for any and all canines who suffer from arthritis. How many people do you know who would bennefit from this?

How to ease a dog’s arthritis?

My Dalmatian is about 12 years old and is having a hard time with her arthritis.our vet gave us pills to help ease the pain,but it is very hard to make her take it.even when we crush it up and put it in wet food,she can sense the pill is in there and doesn’t eat it.she sometimes does eat it but it is not very often.she has a hard time getting up and sitting down.she also falls a lot which is scary because she is too heavy for me to lift up by myself.sometimes she falls while we are asleep and is stuck in the middle of the floor all night.is there anything,other than attempting to sneak pain pills into her food,that we can do to help her feel less pain and to prevent her from falling?

Arthritis in a dog’s hips.?

admin — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 09:52:00 +0000

Does anyone know (I know there aren’t any Vet’s here), how to tell the very First signs of arthritis in a dog’s hips? The Vet said the dog does not have arthritis, but I disagree, (no X-rays were taken, just manipulation of the legs), as I watch how she walks and gets up daily, compared to when she was younger. The Vet says it is just because she is 12 yrs. old, and stiff. Does anyone know, in any way, if she is ‘stiff’ or ‘arthritic’? One day after a bit of a long ride where she was laying on the back seat in the Van, she got up to go outside, and wouldn’t put one foot on the ground. Just her toes. After walking her slowly, a bit, she still didn’t want to put full pressure on one hind leg, just the toes, again. After a walk, if she were stiff like Vet says, I would think the stiffness would be walked out of her. Any informative opinions?
She is not my dog to take her to be checked. I dog-sit her.

She does not have hip dysplasia. I have had three dogs with that, and I know what it looks like.
