One of my fb friend's fb friends says West Valley Vet in Sheridan is good. 503-843-4011.
If it is arthritis, I would recommend going the glucosamine route first. If/when that is not enough, the nsaids can be added. Nsaids have side effects for dogs just as they do for ppl.
Went by this afternoon and made an appointment for Wednesday a.m., last year we were in 20 degree weather, and she would walk when the temps got up to 40+ degree for a mile, and this year she hasn't wanted to walk more than a little ways up the trail and is complaining when the temps drop into the high 20s.
She is so cranky and sometimes is '*****y' and that is not like her. Really hope nothing is wrong beyond her being 9 yrs old .. will feel a lot better once she is checked by a vet and blood work, etc. is done to reassure me or we can do something about what is wrong.
On Edit : apparently cannot call her a "female dog" which she is .. oh oh.
