Susan from Long Island told me that her dog started lagging behind on walks. He was ultimately diagnosed with degenerative joint disease. The dog arthritis medication that he was given was Prednisone. Prednisone is an anti-inflammatory and gave Susan's dog some much needed relief.

Greta from Los Angeles told the message board that her dog had suffered with joint pain for years. She tried a different dog arthritis medication every six months for two years before she found one that bought Kimba any relief. The dog arthritis medication that Greta swears by now is made by Natrol.

Fluffy is the family pet of the Barnes family of Linesville, Pennsylvania. Fluffy started yelping in pain whenever he was touched. Mr. Barnes found our message board and was convinced by the posters that he should take Fluffy to a veterinarian. He was concerned that dog arthritis medication was going to be expensive.

Dog arthritis medication is not very expensive all things considered. A family pet really is another member of the family. Spending less than fifty dollars a month to keep a family member from excruciating pain doesn't seem like much money to me.

Mr. Barnes didn't post on the message boards again for about six weeks. He came back on the board to thank us for setting him straight on getting Fluffy checked by the veterinarian. Fluffy had hip dysplasia and the doctor prescribed dog arthritis medication.

The dog arthritis medication that was prescribed to Fluffy was phenylbutazone. I was shocked that this was what had been prescribed. I knew from the type of medication and the dosage that Mr. Barnes told us about that Fluffy had probably been in a great deal of pain for a very long time.

I feel pretty good about getting people like Mr. Barnes to take better care of their pets. There was a guy that logged onto our message board as Steve from Tennessee. He talked about his dog limping and not acting normal. He was very interested in the research that we had all done on dog arthritis medication.

He logged on again about six days after our initial conversation. His veterinarian had diagnosed his dog with cancer. He thanked us all for the information that we had given him. His doctor was not going to prescribe any dog arthritis medication to him. He did prescribe some heavy duty pain medication.

Steve didn't come back to our dog arthritis medication forum for about nine months. He came back again to thank us for our support and to let us know that his pet had passed away. We all wished him our condolences and asked him to come back and chat sometime. He came back again two months later to report that he had adopted a puppy.
