moaning and moaning

Jasmine Marie is 11 years old and has been on medicine for arthritis for the past 3 years. She has stiff hips but otherwise she gets along pretty well for an old gal! In the past few months she has started to moan. Mostly when she sleeps. It is a low guttural sound. It makes me feel so bad for her. Does anyone have any suggestions. I would like to give her 2 Aleve tablets everyday like I take because it sure does help my arthritis! Thanks.

Hi CindyLynn,

Let me refer you to this article:

Piroxicam is fairly inexpensive, but the cytotec is fairly expensive.

The drug is a wonder-- jake was unable to get up off of the floor (without the medication) years before his time.

Good luck.... please let us know what you decide or if you have other questions!

Cindylynn,
My dog Barnaby also had bad athritis in his hips and ankles and had lots of problems getting up and with steps. He would do a little cry/ yelp. We checked out a few options of medicine and finally put him on etogesic, it works really well but I also recommend that you help her by giving her a few other things suchas a multi-vitamin, glucosamine (for joints) and a capsule of fishoil, he improved sooooo much on this plan.
Also I have to say be very careful what you give him concerning aleves and advils, these pain-killers can have horrible reactions to arthritis medication suchas horrible ulcers, so consult your vet before giving him anything other than his meds.

Let know how it goes! :D
