When I first read this I was going to advise that you roll them a bit looser
Anyhooo...a few drops of rescue remedy mixed into a lotion perhaps...just a suggestion, i know its good for stress but I remember reading that it's good for stiffness in dogs as well...just apply to the affected leg

That'd loosen him up a treat!

Glucosamine would be my joint related drug of choice.

When I first read the title I thought you were on about me!

Ian - stiff knee, ankles, elbow, in fact anything that moves.
