Years ago, my first chow suffered from arthritis. This was before the days of rymadyl, duramax & other canine medicines. I was able to keep her comfortable with acupuncture, shark cartilage, and other chinese herbs.

Now, my current dog is showing signs of arthritis again. The rymadyl isn't working as I had hoped. So, I"m going to start her on the regimen that kept my previous dog comfortable. Only problem is I can't remember the herbs prescribed. I believe alfalfa was one, but I know there were chinese herbs as well.

Anyone able to offer any suggestions until I can find a decent holistic vet?
