We own 7 GSPs. Our oldest female is now 12 year old. She has always kept up with the others in the pack until lately. Bill exercises them all regularly and they are all in good shape physically as far as weight and muscle tone. The problem lately is that you can see that she is getting stiffer in her joints after a hunt. She loves to hunt and cries more when you do NOT take her. We realize that her time left with us is PRECIOUS, but we would prefer to not have her in pain after she does what she loves to do. This problem is new for us. In the past, we have never had to use any pain meds and/or supplements for any of our older dogs.
I know that there are others on the forum with much more experience in this area.
I would appreciate some advice.
My question is: What products (prescription or over-the-counter) have other sporting dog owners used that they find works great for their elder dogs after a couple of hours out hunting? What would you recommend to relieve the inevitable pain, swelling and stiffness of an aging dog? Do you keep them on it all the time, or just before, during and/or after a hunt for a certain length of time?
I have looked online for an answer, but there are just too many products out there.
Thank you in advance for your time.
