Glucosamine & Chondriotin (combined) supplements are good for joint problems.  Ester C also has natural anti-inflammatory properties and may be beneficial if it's arthritis that's causing her problems.  We've had great results with these with our boy who is arthritic.

If there is a hydrotherapy pool nearby; I would strongly recommend swimming.

I agree with hydrotherapy depending on how much use of her legs she has lost.

Her legs have not completly gone but she is on that rocky road will take her to nearest hydrotherapy.

I have had my 14 year old on Youmove for a few months with good results, she actually jumped off the sofa yesterday!

I agree with the Glucosamine & Chondriotin I now have all 3 of mine on this- Junior was at the point that he was wining cause his legs hurt and Tiva had real trouble getting up. T-Bone just started having trouble with her back leg so I just started her on it about 2 weeks ago. Can't believe the change in Junior and Tiva its great, Even I take it everyday with them.

Depends on their weight thats what my vet said...

Mine range in weight from 24-28 pounds boston terriers. We were just on the 500 and I was told I could give 2 pills a day. I have now changed to 900 mg extra strength.
Glucosamine Sulfate 500mg
Chondroitin Sulfate 400mg

I only give this once in the morning which I to also take only once. Its the Life brand. It has no lactose, sugar, gluten or starch.
