I agree that limited exercise is the key here.

Wehn Bear hurt his leg it was muscle so we went to see a canine massage therapist who worked wonders...you should look up "canine rehab, your city/town) in google and you might get some sites to places that offer, physio, massage, swimming and/or acupuncture...

Another thing that was suggested to me was to continue our glucosamine supplements but to add salmon oil and a homeopathic product called Traumeel - both are natural anti-inflammatories. If she will lay down long enough for you to ice the area, you can do that too.
