What kind of over-the-counter medicine can I give my dog for arthritis?
I have a 5 year old 90 lb dog that has arthritis in his back legs. I was wondering what over-the-counter human medicine and dosage I can give him for the pain. I am not able to take him to the vet at this time. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Can my dog get arthritis from sleeping on a cold tile floor? We don't make him sleep there and move him to a bed when we see him on the cold floor, but he always goes back. I don't want him to get arthritis but he seems to always choose tile floors to sleep on.

My Dad is settled in USA, and he suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis. Can anyone suggest me a job which he can take up, which he can do, without too much of physical work? He is well educated and was a teacher in India, but he is waiting for his certificates to get to USA, to apply for teaching positions. In the mean time, I would like to suggest him a job, which would not take too much of physical troubles, at the same time which does not need much education. He does not mind working for the minimum salary in USA. Please help me.

I've got some arthritis in my ankles, my ankle gets swollen sometimes and the podiatrist said it's from instability.. I'm trying to figure out what kind of shoe or sandal do I need in order to accommodate this problem?
I'm guessing nothing that "wobbles" but what else should I look for?
How do copper bracelets work for arthritis, and does your skin absorb the copper?
A friend is wearing a copper bracelet, which he says helps his arthritis. I think this is fine, but I wonder how much copper his skin is absorbing, and is there a toxic effect in the long term?
It turns his wrist a bit green.
Also, how does this idea work? Is there a chemical reaction in the body? Or, if it's all in your mind, isn't it still effective since the pain is gone, for whatever reason?

She limps from time to time, and she takes medication for her Arthritis. Right now she is having her leg iced, but I was wondering if there is anything else I can do to make things easier on her. She's rather bored lately, although she is 7 years old, she loved to play ball. Now, we don't like to let her run much because of her pain.
What are things I can do to play with her, without causing more pain on her leg? What are additional methods to lessen her pain?
Thank you!

My dog is an extremely picky eater. When she was younger, she would gobble down any needed pills if they were wrapped in a ball of cheese or bread. No more. What ideas do you have to get her to take her arthritis pills? Peanut butter won't work either....she just licks it. I also tried to shove pills into Libby's vienna sausage (kind of like a hot dog), but these made her throw up.
