Maybe try glucosimine/chongrointin tablets, but the work in time, you should really be relieving you dogs pain while they build in his system. Please don’t let him suffer, while you question questions, he’s been you faithful pet for 12 yrs.
Glucosamine/Chondoitin and MSM supplements are extremely helpful. If you can figure some way to have him safely sleep on a heating pad or electric blanket that will help. You could also try rubbing DMSO on the affected joints, BUT don’t let him lick the material.
Try an Advil or Motrin.
