My 12 year old schnauzer has arthritis very badly in his back hips. He sits funny and has trouble getting up, but then he has had the arthritis for about 3 years now. It is very hard because I know he hurts, sometimes worse than other times.

I give him Previcox every other day and it really helps. I used to give him Zubrin, but the vet says Previcox is easier on his stomach and liver.

My friend recommended acupuncture - her dog got arthritis after an injury and she had good luck with accupuncture. I haven't yet made an appt, but I'm going to soon.

I also give him glucosamine every day.
