Hi Jennifer, If your dog is in pain she needs to be seen by a vet. This can’t wait as she might be suffering, and you won’t be able to ascertain why at home alone. There are some charities that can help fund treatment for those who are struggling – The PDSA or Blue Cross in the UK can do this. Speak to your vet on the phone, explain the situation and see where you can go from there.

Hi I’m jennifer I have a 18 year old black lab named misty . She loves to go on walks still but they are much shorter now and has trouble comming back up the stairs when we get home . I do notice lately as it’s been getting colder her hip has been bothering her she will walk and just fall down here and there in the house. I do give her massages to help ease her hip pain. But I was trying to see what I could give her that I may have at home to help her as well. I don’t have the money just yet to take her back to the vet. I do treasure everyday I have her I know 18 is already a miracle I think the puppies and my love keep her going strong but I do need to help her stay that way so please help if anyone has any ideas I would love it.

In reply to Craig Barbieri. Is the Limp tail you are referring to the same as cold tail? Does it happen after swimming or even a bath? If so..... No real treatment other than helping with the pain, we were told asprin, but our girls stomach can't take it. Ah, I see they call it many things.

Hi, our old yeller just turned 15, she has been on the miracle drug, Adequan for years, we administer every 10 days now. She also gets Metacam every morning for about a year now. We live in San Diego, so the weather is never an issue, but we had a record breaking day of rain, is there anything more I can give her to help the back hips/leg pain. It appears I can’t do more Metacam at night. We’ve tried Gabapentin, but it literally put her down and out, same as the Keppra the neurologist tried (at too high of a starting dose) she seems okay on tramadol, but the vet said it can cause seizures in dogs with seizures, although it appears her seizures turned to Syncopes and the cardiologist put her on sildenafil, which I thought was great until we had our first episode today. Yes, many issues here, other than being older than dirt she is a very happy girl who still thinks she is 2, but her body says I don’t think so.

In reply to Mary Ann Vicencio. Hi Mary Ann, Please take your dog to the vet. They are the best person to let you know what is causing the itch, and to provide you with an appropriate medication. Best wishes, Lucy.

I have a 3 year old yellow Lab he is constantly battling Limp Tail and swelling. I have taken him to Vet numerous times to no avail. I have talked to different Vet and read different articles.

I used Benadryl for allergies for my dog, he is a black lab and lots of heat rashes right not and cannot stop scratching his self and it is now starting to bleed especially his ears. A dog owner told me that it is safe to give the Benadryl for allergy to a dog? Please let me know. Thanks

Any thoughts on Cartrophen injections? I lost a Lab at 10yrs to a stomach ulcer which I am convinced was caused by 18 months of using NSAI’s. They definitely helped her pain and for most of the time she was on them she was back to being herself so they gave her a good quality of life back, but I’ve since heard of Cartrophen injections and really want to look into whether these could be an alternative to NSAI’s for my adopted 8yr old Lab who is starting to look uncomfortable now and again after a walk.

Hi Stella, I’m not sure what has upset you here? Is it the Amazon native advertising at the bottom of the page? The website is funded through this – and it raises suggestions for products based on words it finds in the content of the article. If you have any alternative suggestions for funding the website, we’d love to hear them 🙂
