Answer 1

Work with your vet on the eye issue but shepherds are rather notorious for having bad hips.  I've used glucosamine chondrotine with several of my shepherds with great success.  I use Glyco Flex products made by Vetri-Science Laboratories.  Definitely worth looking into before using an NSAID such as Rimidyl which will probably get mentioned.

Answer 2

If a vet gives you medication and it doesn't seem to be helping, you go back to the vet and talk about it.
