Then try bandaging the leg for support. Don't tape the joint itself, just wrap the leg and tape above and below. Won't hurt to try while you're trying to figure stuff out. If there's any inflammation, get some anti-inflammatory meds from the vet.
Yep we have had him on the Costco glucosamine for about two years now. Vet said because it's an 'old' injury and has basically stabilized that the antinflamitory meds wouldn't help much.

Lining up a Vet through a friend that has a good reputation for that second opinion.
