My poor dog has arthritis in her hips and we have had to resort to givng her drugs. Has anyone had experience with Rimydal? I understand it is hard on the liver but it seems to be helping. Boy, is it ever expensive though. I need to find an online outlet.

Fiancee dog took that and it did seem to really help. Not sure if the effects on the liver were the final straw. Lived to a old age for sure... white faced black lab.

Thanks guys.... it does seem to be helping at times, but sometimes she just collapses..almost like a pinched nerve deal. Other times, she acts like a pup and runs and jumps and has a ball. Boy, this is tough stuff watching your dog go downhill...

Sorry to hear about your dog, I got it so bad I'm on SS, ( I got a perm. disability fishing permit out of it though!  ) just kidding, chronic pain is no joke. Do you still need an On-Line pet med distributor? I know of a few if you want them.

I love the hell out of him he used to be my trucking dog he was feed many a meal at the golden arches. He doesnt hear well probally cause he sat in a diesel truck for 14 of those years. My vet is in aww to she has known him since he was a pup. he was the runt of the litter and the only one to servive more than 2 weeks. dunno my newfoundland made it to 13 and i thought that was great. but he is a fighter
