| cannot walk. pain management? is there any thing i can do for him in the way of pain management? i can't put him on a heating pad because it's 90 degrees where we live so i have him in the bedroom where it's air conditioned. he is a german shepard so i'm sure he's really hot in all that fur. is there anything i can do for him right now without a trip to the vet? |

|  He should be on glucosamaine - but you really should take him to a vet. It could be arthritis, but it could be other things such as hip dysplasia or a spinal problem. |

| Not too much. There are some really good medications available from the vet, and maybe some prednisone too. But all need to come from the vet, with the proper dosage for age, weight, etc.. Good Luck. |
