We had the same problem in our german shepherd/golden retriever/collie and a friend recommended glucosomine and chondroitin in liquid form. We give him about 3oz a day shot straight in his mouth (followed by a treat, he hates the taste) and within 2 days he has stopped limping and is running around as normal. We give it every day for about 2 weeks until it is clear the flare up has gone. You can buy it from any pet store for about $10-$20 depending on the size. Good luck.

One day he just stopped using his front leg for no reason.
He limps all day long!!!
We have been to a few vets. 2 diff. xrays & 4 -5 vets - NONE OF THEM were able to figure out why he was limping.
All they could say was he was not in any pain.
Now, months later & $$$$ spent for nothing.
Oh, & now that we are very very broke at the moment-
The last week or so he is now acting like he is in a lot of pain!
He can't get on / off the bed, couch etc.
It is hard for him to lay down / stand up.
He cries when he has to get on/ off the bed etc.
The vets we saw checked everything- pulling his leg etc. He has been in no pain until just now.
Can anyone please help out?
What can I give him for pain for time being?
Has anyone had anything like this?
Thanks
