Our 10yr old Golden ruptured her ACL around Christmas this year and her hips aren’t good enough for surgery. She is on deramaxx and dasuquin. The vet also put her on a joint repair food. (She also takes furosemide for fluid around her heart.) Unfortunately, the cost involved in all of this is unreal. She is doing well now, yet still limps a lot. My H built a ramp for her to get in and out of the house. More than one neighbor has called to find out what happened to us. Most of them think we’re crazy when they find out it’s for the dog.
Obviously, they have never had a Golden!
