Re: For those with older rotts.../Hawaii

He does have arthritis and he takes Rymadyl for it when it gets bad. I think that yesterday he was just loopy because I gave him half a Rymadyl... he seems more normal today. I am still curious about lifespan of males vs females because he seems to act older than Moocah, my female. As for the vet, we were just there in January and they saw nothing amiss and said they both look great for their age. They both get Glucosamine, since they are large breed dogs. No other supplements besided that and the occasional Rymadyl.

They will both have to get health certificates for the trip, but I am not expecting any problems. Health certificates are mostly for communicable diseases and not for oldness... My poor boy just seems to be battling age.
