Hi Sarah!
I agree with Krista! Diagnosis from your vet first. If you should find that it is arthritis/joint-related….
If you are open to a natural way to help your furbaby, I
have extensive experience in helping my 16 year old Golden Retriever (and many other pups) with arthritis pain and inflammation. (I am
not a vet). This is not meant to sound self-serving because I now sell through my blog – because I am in love with the products – but I only use doTERRA essential
oils to help him because they are certified pure therapeutic grade and they work!

Wild Orange and Peppermint have been effective,
but in my opinion, Frankincense is the most effective. You can use 1-3 drops of oil along their spine
between the base of the ears and the base of the tail (this will help in
reducing pain communication to the brain). Make sure you get it on their skin, not on top of the fur. Then apply the oil to the affected hips/joints/area of pain. Do this 2 or 3 times as day, as needed. (Can be applied more often, if necessary, to
deal with severe pain. Less product but
used more often if needed is best so their body can use every last drop).

Also found to be effective, especially on
those really bad weather days, etc. I
diffuse Frankincense and Serenity blend oils (you can use lavender too). This helps with all kinds of things for them
(loss of interest or activity, stress, etc.)
If you do not have a diffuser, you can put 1 or 2 drops on the dog’s chest
every 3 hours or so as needed. I supplement
his food (for reduction of inflammation/pain and help with body repair of
tissue: 5-8 drops (depending on dog
size) of IQ Omega AND DDR Prime – 2x/day mixed into wet food.

Thank you, I usually do overreact to anything to do with their health. Her baby is hypoglycemic and the vet I took her to was so uneducated that I knew more than he did about he condition, unfortunately. I know I can pay for one visit at least, but if it is serious im scared it may get too costly. I go crazy when there is something wrong. I’ve never given a thought to giving them away before.
