I got a black lab bout ten years old, and she cant hardly get around, i think she got arthritis bad. She's just a good ol yard dog, and she is a little over weight, but i was wondering what would be the best thing to give her. Someone told me to give her some tylenol one time. Advice aprreciated.

First off i would make her an inside dog. Living in south GA I would get her out of the terrible heat and away from that little growling boykin spaniel. I would probably give her a hot bath every night after she got through with a big t-bone and then tuck her away in the bed with grant. This should make her life alot less miserable.

Give her an adult asprin daily and bring her in the central air. It does wonders.

Deremaxx or rymedil will do a dog with arthritis "WONDERS". You can also put them on Glucosemine, remember its a long term vitiman. Also make sure your dog has a very well paded place to lay on. And like everyone says get them out of the weather, hot and cold. Good Luck

Rymedil works wonders. call your vet you have to get it by prescription but it works great for those old sore bones.
