Question

I know Xanthe has arthritus, but how can i tell if my dog is in pain, and how can i tell how much? I mean, she moves around a little slowly in the mornings and at night, but she seems to be in a good mood most of the time, happy and she gets excited about things. I just want to make sure I can keep on top of it. i don't want her suffering and not be aware. Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

If she's moving around less and also more slowly, she is definitely in pain, but if she's still "herself", she's doing fine. You might want to try an anti-inflamatory, like yucca. It's natural, so it won't interfere with any prescriptions she might be put on in the future.
