How good that the vet has some solutions for Penny! She is so sweet looking. I know you will give her everything she can possibly need.

Does the new med seem to be helping Penny? She does have such a happy face. I hope all is well with her Janet.

Not so much yet, but it's only been a couple of days. I hope it does...she just doesn't get up unless I make her to go potty. Last night I got her up and she walked into the family room and her back end fell to the ground. Got her up again and then we went outside. I walked with her around the house for a bit and she did good. She needs to be up more to loosen up the joints I think...or well it kind of makes sense from a non-medical point of view. She doesn't seem to be in any kind of pain at all. My Vet tech says even if it hurts, most of the time we won't know it because they usually don't 'cry' out or anything.

Janet, we had a dog that acted like Penny. He was also a big breed, an austrailian shepherd mix. When he was about 10 yrs old, I ordered some joint meds from foster and smith, we couldn't believe how it helped him to move again. It was wonderful. He lived to be about 15. I can't remember the name of what we gave him but it was for joints. I'll look it up for ya. It wasn't too expensive and just worked so good for him. It's all natural too, no chemicals and no prescription necessary either. I'll let you know what the name of it is.

Janet, go to drsfostersmith.com and look at joint products for senior dogs. I went to the website and found several things that you might be interested in for Penny. They are not too expensive and they really do work. Keep us posted.

Thanks Paula....I'll do that. I'm beginning to think/see that the PhyCox the Vet suggested, may be helping some.
