Any advice anyone can give would be appreciated.

I also have a 3.6 Yorkie, Zoe, almost 3. She does not have this problem so far and, hoping she never does, but should I put her on the same supplement as Spencer?

Thanks.

If you aren't willing to spend the money on surgery, you might want to seriously consider getting some doggie step (as well as Cosequin) s to help him get off and on furniture. My Toby (and our other dog) uses doggies steps to get in and out of bed as it sits pretty high off the floor. No way would I let him be jumping if he's gotten worse. JMO.......
