Question
I have a three year old rottwhiler and every year around this time his feet seem to swell and he will not get up and move around.

Answer
Hi Tammy;
Sorry to hear this.

I will tell you it probably has a lot to do with the humidity at this time of year with the heat...
Nevertheless, we need to get your boy some relief.

There is a product the Vets use for pain relief of minor aches, and swelling, it is called "Rimadahyl"...they will need to see your dog.

You can also try some Glucosomine products, as they will help coat the joints and the connective tissues.

Baby Asprin may also give him some relief.

But, truly the best idea is take him to your Vet, and have them assess the problem specifically.

Best wishes, and please let me know what I can do to further assist,
Regards,
Melissa
