Sorry to hear about your Ollie's recent health problems. It's heartbreaking how many health issues this fantastic breed can have - that's good he's a bit more comfortable now and is enjoying short walks.
Your breeder sounds very helpful - I haven't heard of Forever Freedom, is that a natural remedy? We used cod liver oil capsules with our last Berner who had OCD from a young age and it worked wonders - he managed for years on just that and no anti-inflammatories until he was 9. Not long after we started him on it, our vet saw us walking him one day and commented on how much better he was (he could hardly put weight on one of his front legs previously) and was amazed to hear it was just cod liver oil we were giving him!
Our Ollie is due to come off his anti-inflammatories soon so fingers crossed he'll continue to be okay. Most of the time he's enjoying his walks though there are still some days he does sit down occasionally.
Let us know how your Ollie gets on. Have looked at some previous photos you posted of him and he looks just like our last Berner, Brodie!
