Thanks for your replies! Thankfully "Bruce" now seems on the mend and is back to his old self.
Trouble is he's a right softie so we never know when he is over-reacting. He can stub his toe and go on as though he's been shot!
In the end I basically massaged his aching joints twice a day and 3 days later he seemed fine. Will take on board the aspirin and paracetomol suggestions though as I think he will develop joint problems as he goes along.
That said he has been taking a glucosamine sulphate based supplement which has helped him no end. Would definitely recommend for any other dogs with joint problems.
