My pet spaniel, Buster has always been an exceptionally active and healthy dog. He could easily outrun me on our long sprints and never stopped bounding after balls and sticks.

While I always prayed for a little breathing space from his overactive and never-ending energy, I was surprised to notice that of late he seemed less enthusiastic about going up the stairs or even chasing the skateboarders on our walks. I kept teasing him about growing fat and lethargic, but his lively vigor did not return. As a matter of fact, he was not leaping on the couch anymore and chose the floor instead.

When I detected a slight groan as he prepared to lie down, it truly raised my fears and I rushed him to the veterinarian immediately. After a thorough physical exam, Buster was diagnosed with age-related arthritis. The veterinarian informed me that the degenerative joint disease made him reluctant to move. She showed me the inflammation on his legs and warned that it could gradually lead to even muscle atrophy.

I was worried sick about his agony, but the veterinarian prescribed novox for dogs - a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine to relieve the pain and swelling. I immediately sourced this prescription drug from the reliable online pharmacy, PetRx2go and administered it twice a day.

Along with the medication, I arranged muscle massages to ease the pain and got a warm and thick bedding for my beloved pet. I continued to coax him to exercise with daily runs and games too.

The results have been palpable. Though Buster does not leap mindlessly like earlier, he is back to jaunting and playing around with me!
