I think Callie started showing signs of arthritis around 8 or 9 and had to go on a pain medication as needed and then after awhile it because pain medication everyday. She had Cushing towards the end though and one of the symptoms is weakness in the back legs so unsure if everything was arthritis or the cushings or a bit of both. She had LP surgery on both back legs as well as CCL surgery on them also in her life which probably caused some of her issues with arthritis.
