I hope your Roxey gets to feeling better. Years ago my dog Bob was on rimadahl half a pill in the morning & half at night. He got to the point where I took him outside around the house so he didn't have to climb down the stairs at night for bedtime. He would jump the last two steps & I knew that was not good on his joints & his eye sight was failing also at the time. He did fine going up the steps though. I even would carry him to avoid him jumping off of anything.
