Aspirin (not tylenol, not motrin, not advil, old school aspirin - the only combination anitpyretic, anti-nflammagory, and analgesic) if your system tolerates it
Glucosamine chondroitin - helps with joint lubrication
Elavil - normally for depression but one side effect is to damp down the effects of nerve impingement... those muscle spasms you get when the arthritis "catches"

Exercise to increase mobility
Water aerobics
Tai Chi

Though the T'ai Chi could be interesting.

If she is a person...don't take meds on top of the prescription ones.

Glucosamine chondroitin, though, is helpful, and safe.

If you are an athlete, stagnant most of the day or just plain getting older (over 25) I recommend trying to take a minimum daily dose. It helps stop cartilage from deteriorating. I was told I would get arthritis when I was 15 and so far, apart from once in a blue cramping from gripping weights too tightly, I'm fine at 32. I did have aches and pains once I hit over 25 but believe it or not, working out helped alleviate all of those, they're gone.
Sorry for jacking ya thread there. It's literally one of those rare days when I have nothing going on.

You might want to get her a ramp to get in and out of the car if she usually goes for rides.

Status: offline 		She gets in ok, with a little help, she puts her front half in, then we gently hoist her back half, it's getting out where I agree a ramp would be great.shewas just leaping out, the back seat is very low to the ground. And i am just not very comfortable with her doing that maybe iam just an over anxious mommy.

It works on 70% of the human patients and almost 100% of animals because they digest the fatty acid better than people. The book is truly free as in no email spam or contact info needed to download the ebook.

I have used these caps on a couple of my dogs over the years (as well as myself) and I find they really work wonders.

Status: offline 		My bad... I did assume "she" was a person. No elavil or straight aspirin for canines.
And, for glucosamine you want to use the formulation for canines not humans... the filler in human glucosamine is often milk solids which can have adverse reactions in canines.

For the critters, I've found www.calvetsupply.com to be an economical source for canine analgesics and glucosamine. I still miss my dog, Willy. We fought arthritis together for several years then a stroke took him.
