   Arthritis medicines made for dogsas well as joint supplements see your vet as soon as joint supplements see your dog comfortable in older dogs there are difficulty standing not wanting to go upstairs crossing legs in his old age.
   The back down cant jump on furniture anymore hard to run and play as much very common in.

   don’t sound like artritis to me he’s licking his paw because he hurt his paw. maybe sounds more sprung to me.

   Our old german shephard died at 12 and in his last few years arthritis really bothered him. Signs of it including not being able to jump into your vehicle like it once did, not running very much, difficulty getting up and down steps. A lot of it is the same things humans deal with. If he has been licking his paw a lot I would say he may have stepped on something that injured it, dogs tend to lick wounds.

   they have a hard time getting up from a sitting position, and if it get’s worse then they’ll develope a slight limp in their walk

   Limping, tenderness when you touch the area. He could also have a thorn or cut or tiny piece of glass. I would get it looked at. m
