Laney is my 2nd Golden Retriever and has reached the age of 14. My first Golden, Sandy lived to 14 years as well. For about the last 10 days now, Laney is having a great deal of trouble getting up from the floor. I make sure that I walk her every day, which she loves. It seems that once she can get up and gets walking, she is fine. I have her on an anti-inflammatory, Previcox. Just recently, I increased the dose to a full tablet. Does anyone have any other suggestions or advice. I am going to bring her to the groomer to trim all the hair that grows beneath her feet. I know this is making her slide. My elderly mother lives with me and I am unable to scatter rugs around. Laney sleeps on carpet for the night and is able to get up, but sometimes when she falls alseep on the floor, she is unable to get up. It takes her a few tries. My heart is breaking.

Welcome and I am sorry to hear about your Laney. My boy is half her age and he has the onset of arthritis and also had troubles occasionally getting up. He goes to a doggy chiropractor every 3 weeks for adjusting and laser therapy. She has also performed acupuncture several times. It may not help in your case but my buddy has almost instant releif after a visit.
14 years is a wonderful long time to share with your friend. I hope you find something that will work for her.
