    I think it's a combination of old age, arthrits and degenerative myelopathy, possibly disc problem from what some of the tests showed----And the med the dog is receiving wasn't the Convenia, that's for his skin infections..for his back he's getting the Cartrophen shot once a month

    The vets did immediately say the Covenia must be for something other than the back pain, I'll send you the audio files when I get them, okay?

    Thanks Karen - I just listened to them. I did learn more about the dosage, but don't know what brands are pharmaceutical grades, and which aren't, or if at her advanced age, it continues to be of any benefit to keep giving it to her. Guess I'll continue - it can't hurt.

    Glad you were able to listen in. They had quite a discussion on that, didn't they?
