[nagdu] Labrador noises

[Brandy Pinder]

Hi all, 
I would too personally be concerned since he wasn't making these noises before. Pinta will grumble when I ask her to lay on the floor at work without her blanket. I would say yes move up the glucosamine and maybe add in some fish oil. Maybe give a little massage to see if any places seem tender or flinch's.
