Buster's arthritis

Sorry if it's spelt wrong not my strong point lol Buster has sufferd with arthuritis since being 6 months old and has gradually become immune to the drugs available or cannot have them due to his skin condition flaring up when on them. we have also given him glucosamine as advised by our vet. but these are now starting to ease off the comfort they where giving him. He now is 8 years old an plenty of life left in him yet but he is slowing on walks he doesn't run as fast and is stiff when he has had a walk, do any of you know of any homeopathic or alternative remedies available for him.

hi
there are so many nsaid's that can be tried as well as other drugs,some very new
does the glucosomine product you are using contain chondroitin and msm?
imo hydrotherapy would be ideal,and/or acupuncture.
