Been following and posting on FB.

This has happened w/ my Marlin as well. He is on Tramadol 3 times a day, and aspirin twice a day. I give him a massage when he gets up first thing in the morning, and any other time when I get a chance.

He gets Joint Care 2 (glucosamine and chondroitin and other stuff) daily, and I give him an Adequan shot here at home once a month. Been doing these 2 things for 3 years now. If you go to the Adequan, I do suggest you learn how to give a shot at home, get a script from your vet, and order from Dr. Foster and Smith as this will save a lot of money.

Marlin was on Tramadol twice a day for 6 months, then his rear went down again. We upped it to 3 times and he's been getting around.

I don't use Rimadyl on my dogs, the study titled The Senior Dog Project showed much too many side effects from it in senior dogs; the rescue group I was with would not allow us to use it at all on their bichons, so I just stayed with that rule.

Now she is on meds, you should see improvement in 48 hours.

Continued prayers from RI for Cinder.
