Our 18mo carpathian/ carpathian x suffers from arthritis in her back end according to our vet (she went slightly lame a little while ago and the vet said it was mild arthritis). It's not very bad and is usually only noticeable as some slight stiffness in her back legs after a prolonged period of lying down, but gets worse if she's overexercised (sadly, as she loves her walks) or when it's cold. She loves cod liver oil so gets 1 pill a day if/when it gets bad and has plenty of soft places to lie on as she gets grumpy if made to lie anywhere hard for too long/too often as it is painful. She gets two short ish (1/2 hour) walks a day to keep her mobile but not make her get stiff. Is there anything else that can be done to keep her happy and painfree for as long as possible (which she does actually seem to be currently)? Thanks :) Image: https://i.imgur.com/KdYKUim.jpg
