WOO HOO ....great to hear that Manitoba is considering to make Anaplasmosis a reportable disease.
I hope they follow through with it and other provinces follow suit.
I checked into the green lipped mussel but we haven't tried it for Chase. He is doing well enough on Glucosamine/Chondroitin (and sometimes with MSM) supplements right now. There are so many different choices out there and I think some things work for some dogs and some things work for others.
Have you read the dogaware website on all the supplements and treatments for arthritis? It has a lot of information and a lot more if you click on the blue highlighted info .....

Good luck with Timber's blood test .....I hope his platelets have increased or at least remained steady.
