Who is your vet? Where you given any other options? She has disks and spinal problems. Did you have X-rays taken?

So, basically glucosamine + chondroitin. You can find it at Dollar General.

Dutchtown hospital. The vet said we could do X-rays or wait and just do the treatment for now. She said my dog didn’t seem to be in pain when she checked her out. If it is back problems (most likely it is), we caught it very early.
