Question
  My Lhaso is having trouble getting up steps...How do I treat for joint relief ??   Bill

Answer
Hi, you can go to the vet and have them give you a prescription steroid.  That will help take down any inflammation with can help the joints feel better.  You could also give an over-the-counter medicine like Glucosamine & Chondroitin.  That tends to also help inflammation and make joints work better.  Hope this helps.
