Sasha and you will be in my prayers.

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.

Poor Sasha!

I hope the medication helps you feel better. Getting older sucks for furry ones and humans. Listen to your mommy and rest and get lots of kisses and hugs.

See if there's a Chiropractor in the area that works on dogs.

We almost had to put our GR x GS to sleep one morning because it had got so bad, and at last minute, the vet suggested a show dog Chiropractor.. he was acting like a pup after his first visit!!

Sorry if I'm mistaken, but, she looks Border Collie to me.. if she is, go join and post about this in the Health Issues topic on a Border Collie Rescue board, similiar to this one.. http://bcrescue.org/phpbb2/index.php .. they can help you out with this and maybe help you help your pup's arthritis!!!

Yes, she is a Border Collie cross. I will check out the Border Collie rescue board. Thank you for the advice.

Our regular vet says that Sasha can go for walks, gentle walks to begin with. She has to be on the Metacam for 4-5 days. But he says that her joints feel better than some of his do. So good news for Sasha and I.
