[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 8864"] LA 200 will not touch arthritis if it is osteoarthritis, and isn't great if it is septic. Is the joint painful and swollen and hot, or just enlarged, firm and stiff? If it's the first, contact your vet to try and save her, if it's the second, I'd still recommend you talk to your vet, but you may be able to give her NSAIDS (ie aspirin, ketoprofen or banamine) if she's really bad.
