Good suggestion, it works like a hot dam but unfortunately my male lab can't stomach it at all. He's got bad hips and had an episode where he couldn't even stand up. Gave him some metacam and within an hour he was back on his feet. The poor dog was vomiting and shaking to the point it was more painful to medicate him then not. Ended up putting him on aspirin for a month or so before I was able to ween him off. He's back to walking a round but doesn't get taken on long walks anymore. He just turned 12 and now is pretty much a house dog with the odd walk to the shore.
