Adequan? Is it too late?

Hello,
I'm new to the board, but have been researching the use of Adequan for my Samoyed, Tasha (11 year old rescue that I've had since she was 9 mo old). She had ACL surgery last March on her right hind leg, which never seemed to help much, her joint is still grinding and she has a severe limp. She has been on Rymadyl all year, this seems to manage the pain but doesn't help with her use of the leg (she doesn't put much weight on it) - which makes me wonder if the Rymadyl is really helping with the pain?

Anyway - our new vet suggested we try Adequan, but we were wondering if there has been too much damage to the joint? Any advise - thoughts. Also - just as we were going to start the Adequan treatment, I noticed Tasha developed an absyss in that same joint. That absyss is finally about drained and healing- now we are hoping it doesn't come back!

Any advise would be appreciated.
