Even among golden retrievers arguably the happiest, most affectionate of breeds--Ms.Trixie is an exceptionally affectionate and happy pooch. At 11, she is a svelte 69 pounds--though her glorious thick fur coat makes her look more formidable--and her painful arthritis has been banished by a daily measure of Metacam in her food. For those of you whose aging dogs have joint pain, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you consult your vet about using this wonderful liquid anti-inflammatory. Two or three weeks after Trixie began this medication, she was limber and by all indications pain-free. She has been romping around like a five-year-old dog.
