I think that my horse has arthritis in her back. What can I do to help ease the pain. Is there any rubs or anthing else I can do? Is it still okay to ride her?

I have recently been diagnosed with arthritis in my L5 and S1 facet joing in my spine. Doctor gave it a 6 on a 1-10 scale of severity. What can I do to help this? I heard shark cartilage and soy help…any suggestions?

I have a 6 year old female shepard mix & she also has some rotweiler in her too. Both breed are very suseptible to arthritis, so I’m worried about her getting arthritis in the future. I take her for daily walks and to the dog park occasionally (usually weekends) so she can run around with our other 1 year old pup. She also swims a lot in the summer. So what can I do?

I constantly have cracking in my neck, back, and knees. Over the years it has gotten worse. I do not exercise enough, and I have heard that excessive exercise cures arthritis, is this true?

flower child asked:
I have rheumatoid arthritis and celiac disease. I’ve noticed the joint pain is so much worse right before my menstrual cycle. Has anyone else experienced this? I assume it’s from the changing hormone levels. I have little to no pain during the rest of the month.
My doctor says there should be no relation, but it occurs every month like clockwork. He’s referring me to a rheumatologist, but I still think there is a link here.

My 14-year-old (small) cat has arthritis and when she is simply walking it bothers her. She can still jump up on stuff but I want her to not hurt. Help!

Peace asked:
She limps from time to time, and she takes medication for her Arthritis. Right now she is having her leg iced, but I was wondering if there is anything else I can do to make things easier on her. She’s rather bored lately, although she is 7 years old, she loved to play ball. Now, we don’t like to let her run much because of her pain.

What are things I can do to play with her, without causing more pain on her leg? What are additional methods to lessen her pain?
Thank you!

I usually have pain in my nape up to the head but my blood pressure is just above normal. The doctor ruled out hypertension. Arthritis is suspected somewhere in the spine. Is this possible? Any cure suggestions?

My almost 10 yo choc lab needs something for arthritis. Vet suggested Rhymidal (sp) but I’ve read a lot on here about Deramaxx. What is the average cost of these meds per month?
Thanks!
