I know soooo many of us wish we lived closer to you bc I know we'd all love to help you out, in a heartbeat! I hate it that you don't have more help with everything ...just not fair/right.

Another thought...if an Rx type med isn't available, maybe you could explore safe herbal anti-inflammatories...? Another thought too is topical nsaids like Voltaren Gel (which I use at times for a toe joint of mine)...there may still be some liver involvement but if it's topical it may be much less threatening. If vet doesn't have Voltaren Gel for dogs, you could bring the 'scrip to your pharmacist.
