| Hey Doc! I need your opinion on something. NO, NO not that, it's about a dog.  One of my dogs is 12 year old Golden Retriever. He's in good health but his hips are starting to give out form arthritis. We have him on glucosamine, metacam and monthly shot I can't remember the name of. He's lost quite a bit of weight, mostly muscle, and I'm wondering about exercise at this point. For him, I know I need more. He use to run with me every day but I'm concerned that I would just be wearing out his joints at this point. I still take him for short walks but I know he wants more. This morning he kept tugging on the leash trying to get me to run with him. What do you think?

| A 12 year old Golden Retreiver is kind of old, Dave. Sorry. I wouldn't recommend running him anymore, but walking should be OK. Sweet dogs, most of them.
