I also purchased a pet bed called Gelpedic. My dog absolutely loves the bed, and she seems to have more spring in her step. Good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> Make sure the dog is not overweight, and you feed her quality food and treats.

She's doing so well that I put my husband on it for his arthritic knees -and it's also helped him. <g> Has your lab sprained her paw? If so, it would resolve faster if you can restrict her activity for a little while. There are supports you can get for them, too -try handicappedpets.com for some examples.<br><b>References : </b><br> I can only tell you that my 9++ year old Great Dane is on supplements of MSM, glucosamine chondroitin, fish oil and ester C.

You can get it at Petsmart. Metacam is a wonderful product but there are other medications that can be used as well. Two of them being Rimadyl, also known as carprofen, and Deramaxx, also known as deracoxib. Both of which are NSAIDs and if she stays on either one of these medications she will have to be tested at least once a year for her liver function because it may have an effect on the liver. As always, ask your veterinarian for the best advice.<br><b>References : </b><br>Personal Experience - Veterinary Assistant of over 4 1/2 years and proud dog and cat owner.
