Anything that I could do for my 14 year dog; I think that his hips are starting to bother him?

Asked by Jude (32198points) November 25th, 2010

His last vet visit, the vet said that his hips were fine. That was March of last year. I give him Glucosamine and Chondroitin for his hips (dog treat), daily, but, I have noticed that he curls his back end under more, and he doesn’t move as quickly. His back legs shake, but, they have been like that for a few years.

His next check up isn’t until next March, but, I may take him in earlier than that.

Is there anything else that I could do in the meantime to help him with his hips? Maybe, a heating pad set on low for his dog bed?
