........Acupuncture definitely works, but you have to keep going back.
Hydrotherapy would be great, probably not taking care of all the symptoms
but improving things, as long as the water isn't stone cold. Other avenues
to consider are Adequan shots (injectable glucosamine) or adding
glucosamine/chondroiton to the food. Quercitin is also an anti-inflammatory
supplement, and fish body oil helps.

.......It really depends on the dog and the severity of arthritis as to
whether any/all of these avenues will control the pain and stiffness.
