My old dog has arthritis and limps. What are new pain relief options?

Question

Hi I am looking for advice. My dog is 17 years old and has arthritis in her front paw. Her paw is pretty deformed as a result of many operations over the years. She is in very good health apart from her paw but she is uncomfortable and limping. She is already on steroids, tramodol, you move supplements, We have changed her food to senior dog food and keep her paw covered with a rubber sock on walks. Is there anything else I can do? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 17 years and 4 months old | 28 lbs

You can talk to your vet about therapy laser treatments if it is available in your area as these can help with pain and inflammation. You can also see about starting Adequan injections to help with the joints or further pain medication such as gabapentin or Tylenol 3 or 4 in extreme cases.
