The vet gave us Metacam, which is a NSAID like aspirin, and it's working wonders with Dune. He's walking much better - almost like his joints have been oiled. I took him for a walk today and he was romping in the field and was fine all the way home. When we got home, he tromped up the stairs with no troubles. Earlier today after soaking up some sun he ran up the stairs.
We may choose to keep him on this arthritis drug for some time; our vet says some dogs show remarkable improvement and stay on it for years, so a few months should be ok.
