Hi sorry haven't been around much lately. Ollie our male Bernese had bouts of lameness he is now 3. He is very naughty with the vet and would not let him examine him, he did suggest x-rays and sedation but before that gave us an anti-inflammatory for a week and said if the limp came back it wasn't soft tissue injury and then was for us to decide what to do re: x-rays.
The limp returned as soon as anti-inflammatories stopped. we did not want to stress him out uneccessarily so I contacted his breeder who suggested forever freedom you can google it to find suppliers. She uses it for her oldies. It has all natural ingredients such as Glucosamine,and natural anti inflammatories and pain relief it is also suitable for humans.
We started off with the 60mls a day to get it into his system about 6 weeks he is now on the maintenance level of 30ml a day he is now bouncing about and loves his walks although we do not over walk him. He loves 30-50- minutes a day in the warm weather in the colder weather he will probably manage 2 walks a day of roughly the same amount.
Hope he is well now and you have found something that helps.
