If Dogz is having problems moving, then I would recommend having your veterinarian examine her to determine if she is having joint problems that may benefit from pain medication. I am attaching a handout below with more information about medications for arthritis. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=587 Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
