Poor little Milo the Maltese!  Wow - you have him on a number of drugs.
I wonder if you can try to add some Natural Options to his diet?


1.  Flax seed oil helps to reduce inflammation in dogs and humans with arthritis.
Just 1/2 teaspoon per day - mixed into her dog food:

I don't know how long you can give the Harsh drugs from your Vet without doing damage to your Maltese's liver.  Ask your Vet about the side effects of the drugs.
