Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Arthritis is somewhat common at this point in life. Thankfully there are many things that can be used to help with arthritis including joint supplements and pain control medications such as carprofen, tramadol and gabapentin that can be used on an as needed basis. There is also a diet, Science diet jd which may help with arthritis a good bit. I recommend you check in with your veterinarian who can see Pip and start her on some of these things mentioned. Good luck!
