My GSD has CDRM & arthritis and we pay �18.70 (ish) for 100 pills which she must take 2 times a day to stay active. Herdrug is medrone, a steroid / anti-inflammatory and without it my vet says she'd deteriorate very quickly. (I asked because I thought she'd been on the steroid for long enough that a break might do her good). Recently, another lady on another group discovered her GSD has the same condition and was prescribed "Carniking" at �120.00 per bag ~ so there can be a vast difference in the type of medications and the cost of them and it's well worth asking your vet if he knows of any other medication that might be as effective. If they're not so friendly about this kind of question, you're with the wrong vet! Diana
