I am sorry to hear about Stringer. I would recommend making an appointment with your vet to evaluate him and find out about getting prescription medication such as Carprofen. These medications can be life changing for some dogs. In the meantime you can read this article on arthritis in dogs for more ideas: https://www.petcoach.co/article/7-ways-to-manage-your-dogs-arthritis/ and you can start a Glucosamine/Chondroitin joint supplement such as Dasuquin and a Fatty Acid supplement.
