I have a 13 or 14 year old German Shorthair Pointer. She was a rescue and was about 2 when I got her by estimation of the vets, which would make her now 14ish. She had an awfully rough life before me and it took me quite a while to gain her trust to make her the dog she is today. I think many of you know the whole story, but this is the shortened version. She was also diagnosed with Canine Disciod Lupus a few years back. It has localized in her nose making it dry and prone to cracking. She takes steroids during flare ups and we’ve gotten it down to just Vit B supplements to ward off the flare ups.
She has also been taking Metacam as needed for arthritis in her back end. We have never figured out why, but she is very sensitive about her rear. She is the friendliest dog, but if another dog comes and sniffs a bit too vigorously, she will growl and sometimes cry/yelp.
We have noticed recently that she seems to be struggling a bit more with the pain/instability in her back end. We went to an outdoor pet event over the weekend and when we got home, she had to be carried up the 4 stairs to the house. We didn’t walk that much.
I’ve scheduled her a vet check up as it is about time for her 1 yr check up anyways. I think part of the problem is the arthritis and part is muscle fatigue.
My question is, what medications, besides the Metacam have any of you had experience with? Any other suggestions? She does take a glucosamine supplement as well. I’ve heard bad things about Rimadyl. I just wanted to hear some personal opinions and experiences. I’d like to have some information in my head when I go and talk to the vet.
I realize she is getting up there and this is just one of those things I am going to have to start dealing with. I don’t think she is at ~that~ point yet where I need to start thinking about other options, but I want to try and get some control over the arthritis pain. The Metacam was "as needed" but maybe a daily dose is called for now?
Anyways….any help you can give will be appreciated.
Thanks!
My Newfoundland passed away last year at 15, with heart-related problems that were completely unexpected. Up until that point, he had severe arthritis. We tried absolutely everything, prescriptions from the vet, glucosamine, fish-oil. Everything helped a bit, but not enough. Then, I ran into someone who recommended acupuncture for canines, and water-therapy. Boy, you would not believe how well it worked! I never would have thought it would have made that much of a difference. After two weeks in the water with the water-therapy, Quil was swimming like he was two years old again. Jeez, I feel like I’m advertising for an info-mercial. But check it out, I had great success with it. Maybe you will too.

heartguard
For years we gave our dogs their heartguard and their frontline on the same day every month. But a vet tech friend of mine said that you shouldn’t do that its not safe.
Is it unsafe? Our vet never indicated we shouldn’t Just hadn’t heard that before
I’ve never heard that in all my 40+ years of dealing with dogs. I’ve used both simultaneously many times and have never seen any problems1

You can stop this weekend or so. Then give them strong puppy food and then move on to dog food at around…8 months. You CAN feed them puppy food for the rest of their year (till a year old) but they don’t need it. 
PS: I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE Pits! They are the best! And they a cruely abused at dog fights and things and people think they are blood thirsy monsters.
NOT TRUE! They have the heart the size of the world and are good watch dogs. BUT! (i’m 13) I’m working on becoming a dog trainer and I’m Bigginer intermediate right now. But I wouldn’t recomend a Pit Bull to anybody who hasn’t had two years of experiance with dogs and one year with Pits. They can be very dangerous and need LOTS of work to do so they don’t go into the red zone. (not to mention the Fighting State of Mind. :l)
BTW: this was for everyone. Not just you. I’m asuming you already know these facts about Pits.

I am going to call and see if the vet can get me in tomorrow, but here is what has gone on so far:
My cat is is a 10 year old Manx. He has always been small but the last few weeks he is practically skeletal, I can feel every bone in his spine and hips. I weighed him yesterday and he was 7.5 lbs. He is an indoor/outdoor cat, and at first I thought it was just worms so I gave him a de-wormer about 1 1/2 weeks ago, and another follow up pill yesterday. It was "Drontal Plus". He seems to be in really good spirits, and is acting practically normal, although I don’t usually see him as often as I do now because I am keeping him indoors for now. He is still playing, and cuddling. He doesn’t seem to be eating much at all, so I got him some a/d® Canine/Feline science diet food, which is a high calorie supplement. He ate about 1/2 can of that today. I have been reading a lot of scary things on the internet about diabetes and kidney disease, and it seems like he is drinking more water than normal. Do you think he could be drinking more because of the de-wormer, or is it a high possibility that he has a serious disease? Would he be acting normal if he did? He is up to date on all of his shots. I realize that I probably will not get a proper diagnosis on yahoo Answers, but what do you guys think?
He turned out to be diabetic 
Yes, drinking a lot and urinating a lot are symptoms of both. and yes at first it might be possible that they otherwise seem normal. That’s why it is good you are getting your cat buddy into the vet tomorrow.
With kidney disease another common thing would be vomiting, maybe vomiting sort of clear or foamy fluid. also loss of appetite and thus weight loss.
With diabetes, past a certain point, there is increase in appetite but even if they eat more. they lose weight . The coat gets dry and dandruffy. and then they might start getting weak in their legs. (from neuropathy — that is often reversible)
If it’s diabetes it is very treatable, in fact many cats who are treated soon and get their blood sugar under control are able to go into remission and just be diet controlled. others only need a diet change to start with and that controls it.
Even kidney disease seems to have come a long way and many cats are living years with it.
Hang on to the following links.
if he has diabetes check outhttp://felinediabetes.com/ , they have a lot of info on there and connected with the site is a very very active message board FDMB http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/
If it turns out to be kidney disease….There are 2 great sites that have been around a long time with tons of info. one is US one is UK so there is some country specific info but most applies to all cats
http://www.felinecrf.com
and http://www.felinecrf.org
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Feline-CRF-Support/ yahoo discussion list for people whose cats have kidney disease. You will probably find a lot of support and tips there.
