Our Peach (chesapeake) has arthritis and a degenerative disease of the hips. At the vets urging, we were giving her one aspirin per day to ease the pain. He cautioned about using too many because of stomach problems.

Just recently he saw her again and we told him the aspirin was just not helping her anymore so he put her on rimadyl. We asked about glucosamine and he said it couldn't hurt - may help. So every morning she gets one 75 mg rimadyl and 3 gluco-tabs. I got them from Drs. Foster and Smith-the instructions on the container said to give her that many for her weight. In the evening she gets one 75 mg rimadyl. Has really seemed to relieve the pain - she's still stumbly.

Looking into a cart for her from www.doggon.com Kind of expensive, but I think she's more than worth it.
