Poor Sasha. I hope she's feeling better soon.

My Goldie has arthritis in her shoulders too. She's been on Meloxicam for almost 2 years now. It's the human version of Metacam, much cheaper if you need to give it long term. Goldie will need it every day for the rest of her life. It's been a miracle for her. She's a different, much happier dog now. I hope Sasha gets the same kind of results.
