My 14 year old dog has arthritis in his hips and I give him these chews.
https://www.chewy.com/zesty-paws-adv...oint/dp/168400 He is still able to go on walks daily and jump up on the furniture. There are a ton of supplements available for dog arthritis. You might want to give one a try to see if it helps. If not, then go to the prescription medication. Good Luck!

My dog takes CBD for dogs, and tumeric chews. We buy the CBD at a local co op, and here are the chews: https://www.chewy.com/zesty-paws-tur...oint/dp/181596

What does her diet consist of? Most kibble is not healthy for dogs. You could try a BARF (bones & raw food) diet. The rescue I got my dogs from uses this to cure most ailments in all breeds of dogs. If you don't want to try BARF, you can get dehydrated or freeze dried dog food and incorporate fresh vegetables & fruits.
You can also look into TCM (traditional chinese medicine) for pets and try feeding warming foods for arthritis. TCM has helped w/ arthritis & allergies in my dogs. 1 of my dogs has arthritis and these help so much as does yucca. Read the reviews below the products. We've avoided Rimadyl, by using yucca instead. I have small dogs and Rimadyl is known for harming/killing smaller dogs. Salmon, krill, and sardine oil can help. You can also feed whole sardines. You can also sprinkle kelp, turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon, and rosemary over her food. Have you consulted a holistic vet for more options? Vets are not trained in alternative treatments & supplements and some really do help.

Years ago, my elderly cat had severe arthritis especially in her back. Glucosamine wasn't helping anymore. Our vet prescribed Adequan:
https://www.adequancanine.com/ It was (and I assume still is) very expensive. And, It comes in small needles, so I had to inject the medicine. It helped her so much that I kept up with it until she passed away. Within a short while after an injection, she could walk better and move around with more ease. I don't know if it would help your Mom's dog.
