The Previcox is out. I am going to call my vet later and ask if she wants it back (she gave me a sample, the pills are in blister packs, so it could be used by someone else). Right now, he is getting Dasaquin (was on Joint Health), Fresh Factors, milk thistle for supplements. The combo of meds that seems to work best (but not perfect) is metacam in the morning and two tramadol at night. He is also taking an antihistamine, which I am going to try to cut back on. (oh, and soloxine)
I am open to trying some other supplements, just need to research what to give. I am also thinking about acupuncture, it really helped my old girl when her arthritis got bad. One reason for going to a specialist was to make sure nothing else was going on. Now that I know we are primarily dealing with arthritis, I have options to try.
