| Something else to consider....
If his blood counts are not up to par right now, please reconsider alternatives before using Rimadyl which is a drug that can have adverse effects on some dog's liver and kidney functions.
Do a search in the archives, you will find pro and con on Rimadyl but there are many (myself included) that will never touch the stuff because of first hand experiences in deaths of dogs due to the use of Rimadyl.
Again, as with the food, education is the best tool. Print out all you can about the Rimadyl, educate yourself with its pros and cons and then take the material with you to discuss with your vet.
As Moondog mentioned, Adequan is an excellent product for HD. You can also do a search on it.
Good luck and keep us posted on his progress, wishing you the best for him.
