Poor fella! One of my friends had accupuncture done on her dog for arthritis and swears that it helped him walk better. Of course not every city is going to have a veterinary accupuncturist!
The People's Pharmacy Guide to Home and Herbal Remedies (Joe and Terry Graedon) has a section on arthritis It hs some simple sounding things to try, with a story about successful administration of one to a collie. I think the remedy they used for the dog was a few gin-soaked raisins every day - the gin was allowed to evaporate and the raisins weren't left highly alcoholic. Sounds hokey, I know, but the authors are known for being respectable and have collected a lot of interesting information.
Good luck and I hope you find a good drug or other remedy for your pooch.
