Hi all. I am new here, and have a question for you all.

I have a 12 yr. old lab/pit mix named Molly, who has hip dysplasia as well
as some pretty bad arthritis. I have her on Rimadyl 100mg per day, but it
does not seem to be doing much anymore. Molly limps all the time from being
stiff and cries if touched in the wrong spot. She won't sit down anymore,
preferring to stand or lay. Recently, she has had trouble eating. She would
cry when trying to lean to the floor to get into her food bowl. I have
solved this last problem by putting her dishes up on a low table, so she
doesn't have to lean in order to eat or drink.

Any suggestions on what might help her to be more comfortable? It breaks my
heart to hear her cry, yet I really don't think it is time yet to....

Thanks for any suggestions you might have. Molly is my baby - I'm sure you
all can understand that. That's why I came here. Thanks.
