anyone gives Glucosamine in small amt. to combat against arthritis

I notice my senior bun of 12.5 yr. old has some stability problem on her rear legs the other day. The 1st incident last a min. or 2, where after she extended out her legs in a horizontal position for say 1 to 2 hr., she can't get up, almost as if she has muscle cramp, the 2nd incident is the same, after she is in a leg extended position for 1 to 2 hr. These 2 situation happens within a few hr. time frame

Then the rest of the days, she's perfectly normal, diet is also normal, went to the backyard and eat some grass, everything is normal

Then today, for 1 to 2 sec., she lost the strength to sit up properly at the urine spot when I take her there to pee

now, from Gale encycopedia on alternative medicine, they said they give 1 g of glucosamine per 1 KG of body weight for a human.

There is also Chondroitin. Has anyone try to use a small 1 g amount on their bun as a booster against arthritis. Because it seems no difference than using Adequan
 
I give my Dennis Oxbow joint support as does Joey&boo for Mouse. I saw quite a difference over a month. He is on two biccies twice daily
