worst day of my life

The dead ball disturbed me you should have told someone not get mad. I hate how if you treat a dog a little bad you will get the FBI on you but if you kill a snake no one cares. :evil:

I can personally vouch for glucosamine supplaments. I take them myself. I am 21 years old and I have a number if joint problems resulting from everything from injury to overuse to crappy genes. I don't have artheritis, but I have a few other problems and I started to take glucosamine at the doctors reccomendation. Before you start giving it to your dog though, you will need to do some reasearch on the appropriate dosage for a dog his size and you will also want to try to find the supplament with the least other chemicals in it. All you want for your baby is improved joint function, and there are some pills out there that have a number of things extra in them tht you dog probably doesn't need and may not be good for him.

Sounds like a rough day, indeed man - sorry to hear - hope it all comes together for you.
