we have an 8 1/2 yr old saint bernard that weighs 185 pounds. he has osteoarthritis in his back to legs and hips. he also has fluid build up in his knees. he is in severe pain. our vet put him on tramadol and anti inflamatorys but its still not helping. he has a very hard time getting up and he limps when he does get up. he cant do stairs anymore either. his brother from the same litter just passed 6 months ago from a similar situation. our concern is his quality of life. he is close to his life expectancy and we just dont want him to go through the pain and suffering his brother did. any suggestions?View Thread
