my 10 yrs old chow mix has started limping and holding up her right leg. She has had no injury. Could this just be old age? I am condsidering putting her on Rimadyl adn see if that helps. My questions is-- Rymadyl is expensive. Is there any over the counter meds if could giver her instead? Any help would be appreciated.

I would suggest taking your dog to the vet. At an old age like that they could be developing something serious like arthritis. I certainly would not suggest trying to home-remedy a limp, it could be something that needs immediate medical attention.

My 7yr old boxer was doing the same thing and I took her to the vet. She said that she was showing signs of arthritis and that Rimadyl was an option but due to the possible side effects she wanted to try a natural supplement. She recommended me to buy a product called LubraFlex and within 2 weeks was dog was back to her normal self!! My vet said that she has had similar results with that product in the past and since its natural, there is no side effects to worry about. I bought directly from the company at and it's a lot cheaper than the other drugs!
I hope this helps your dog as much as it has helped my Bella!
Blessings
