Hi all

I hope you can help. My husbands lovely border collie is beginning to show signs of stiffness in the back legs. Is there anything we can do to slow down the arthritis?

Hes a working farm dog so fairly active life so far. He eats a mix of dry food and tinned meat (with the occasional sausage thrown in!).

I have heard that cod liver oil is good but not sure if there is a particular type for dogs and how much he would need (he wont swallow capsules).

Any help or advice appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi, I've always found this site to be very useful. When I had my rescue cat a couple of years ago, he had a few problems that were fixed by the advice on here. http://www.earthclinic.com/Pets/arthritis.html

Good luck:)
