We've given him supplements for years and he did really well. We only had to start meds about a year and a half ago. Now, I think he is in pain almost all of the time - it's very sad.
I'm so sorry to hear about how bad Rowdy's arthritis has become. That sounds like it's very painful for him.

He's lived a long live. Good for him.

Thanks for your input.

God bless you both.
