Sorry to hijack the thread a little, lol! Those of you with older dogs who are getting a little stiff in their old age, I had that when I had my Alsation, Sam. The vet gave me 7 pills, £7 each! One a day for Sam, but the knocked him out and didnt really seem to help with his back legs. So went to the chemists and had a talk with them. Turns out all his symptoms were roughly the same as a human would have so the treatment needed was Rhus Tox and dosage as per label. Gave Sam 2 at around 5pm that night then another two at around 9pm. The next day he was actually walking putting weight on the leg he would normaly limp with. Carried on that day with the pills and within 2 days his limp was gone! If he ever felt the need for one he would come to me, nudge me then look straight at the bottle lol! And we think were the clever ones lol! Carried on with the Rhus tox for 4 years until he died in my arms aged 12, never once did he limp in that time so mabye worth a try for others.
