Ive noticed in the last few weeks Cass (my jack russell) is getting a little stiff, she dosnt apear to be in any pain but when she runs she is begining to look like an old dog, just dosnt have the free gait she used to.
When she was under a year she had an injury to one of her shoulders - cased by her & a chow puppy running into the kitchen & sliding into a cupboard - Cass was nearest the cupboard! She was on pain killers for a week & then I used to take her to aqua-paws (hydro-pool) for about 6 months after to build her up again.
Anyway, she'll be 12 in november & she's been just fine since the incedent till now, Since it happened I have allways given her glcuosamine & chondritin (sp?) tablets (vet vits untill this year when I changed to dorwest herbs) & cod liver oil. I was in the vets yesterday picking up worming tablets & I saw Arthri-Aid & have been looking that up this morning & wndering if that would be better for her?
Any advice welcome.
