Question by gms1616: Wht is the BEST Rx treatment for arthritis for dogs? Pls no natural, herbal or Glucosamine suggestions.?

Of course I already give her a glucosamine supplement, etc. I’ve tried Rimadyl, and even Mobic, but nothing seems to work long term or consistently. Aren’t there new injection medications out now?
