Rottweiler Forum:
Rottie Arthritis

I assume because of the Rottweiler's stature, they are proned to arthrits. I have a nine year old female weighing in at 110 - 115lbs. As she has gotten older she has trouble getting up and walking up stairs. She can stand up and do the stairs, it just takes her a while, she'll stop and take a break and then continue on. My guess is it's arthritis. I was wondering if there is any kind of vitamin, prescription med or acupuncture that any other Rottie owner has experience with. Thanks in advance.
