Wyatt, our 10 year old Cardi, tripped and fell hard earlier this year and came up limping and couldn't walk.  We took him to the vet and they did an xray on him and said he has arthritis in his front right leg.  i think it was his wrist joint.  we have him on some glucosimine and it seems to help.  He can't walk as far as he used to, but he doesn't appear to be in any pain unless he either does too much one day and then is sore the next day or aggravates it by falling.  some days after an especially active day, he has trouble walking in the morning until he moves around a bit.  Sometimes we give him a vitamin e pill to go along with the glucosamine.

I have a friend with a cardi who developed elbow problems earlier this year. Wyatt is 8 or 9; I think they have him on conservative management. I'll message my friend and ask him for you.

He also has hip and back issues. The problem with his elbow is, he constantly limps the vets that have seen him seem to think he either has bone floating around in there or he has a chronic problem with his elbow (joint issues) I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. And if so what the out come was.

Sid's problem is in his hip. What kind of problems is your boy having?
