where do you get the consaquin? My 12 year old golden retriever mix has had arthritis in his back legs for years. Most of the time he did real well, but when the weather changed he'd start limping around.
A few years ago, his hip popped out of the socket and the arthritis was too bad to pop it back in so he had the ball from his hip joint removed. After about 3 mos. he was running around like normal again, but lately he rarely uses that leg and I can tell the other one is bothering him, too.
I would give him Rimadyl when his joints acted up before, but it didn't work this time so I asked my vet to give him the steroid shot. She tried to warn me against it because of long-term side effects, etc, but - let's face it - at 12 years old he doesn't have much long term life left in him. The shot worked great - for 2 days. He's back to limping around now and I can't give him another shot for 3 months. I had a brainstorm yesterday and gave him one of my husband's glucosamine/chondroitin pills and all day yesterday and this morning he seems like he feels MUCH better. I wish I would have thought of that before.
Anyway, I'd like to give him the Consaquin, but don't know where to buy it. Can I order it somewhere?
