Be careful of Rimadyl because it can cause liver problems. I've had 5 dogs with hip problems and 4 of them had to be put to sleep because of it. They all got to the point that they would lay down and were unable to get up. It broke my heart over and over to send them to the Rainbow Bridge but I could let the suffer any more. With my last dog, I crushed up 1 buffered aspirin and one glucosamine/chrondroitan with her morning feeding and it greatly relieved her problem. She lived one year longer that expected and finally developed cancer.
Best of luck in treating your dog.
