Black Lab with arthritis

Hi, My very lovable dog Angel has arthritis as well she tested positive for very early stage renal disease.
She was on glucosimine and fish oil. Our vet recommended this other supplement called Sasha's. As well as J/D food. I assume it takes a little while for it to get into her
system and make a differents. But ever since we switched the supplements she seems to be limping more.
It could also be because we have had alot of damp weather too though. My question is, Is there anything more I can safely give her that won't be hard on her kidney's like possibly Asprin just as needed when she is really limping alot on the damp colder days?

Hi Candice,

Aspirin should not be given to dog's with renal disease, and definitely not without your attending vet's okay. It would be best to talk to your vet about adjusting dosages on medications he has already prescribed.

Thanks,

Dr. Chris
