there was a story on one of the prime time national news shows the other day about stem cell research and curing dog arthritis. the reason i remember is because it made me think of my 12-13 year old boxer. it was expensive as all hell (~$10k), but they say it almost completely relieved the symptoms. well, at least leaps and bounds better. i think i remember you posting about just getting a job not to long ago so it may be out of the question, but you could look into at the least. there was a whole variety of solutions that were discussed. one of them was a partially submerged treadmill that caused less stress on the joints. good luck

I have a 12 year old Chow/lab. He has these problems. The best that I was able to do for him was put him on Science diet arthritts dog food. Made a very big difference. If I take him off for a week, he will just lay around. With the science diet dog food, he is keeping up with my 4 year old lab. They it the woods everyday to hunt.
Oh, my daughter is a Vet and yes, she is the one that told me to put him on this dog food.
