[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take your dog to your regular vet and get her on prescription pain meds. We give ours Galliprant. It’s supposed to be easier on the liver than some of the others. Also ask about Adequan injections. You can give CBD oil and joint supplements on the side but the pain meds will give her the best relief.[/quote] +1 PP here with the 12 1/2 year old lab. We did start Adequan injections and have had 2/weekly for one month, 1 weekly for one month, and getting ready to have 1/monthly. It's hard for us to tell if the Adequan is helping. We did see improvement immediately with the Galliprant. We've also put a lot of yoga mats down--making a walkway throughout our one story house. I know that Rimadyl affects the liver, but do you think Galliprant or Rimadyl is better for pain? Wondering if we should also consider Tramadol? Thanks for your thoughts.[/quote] I gave my older dog Rimadyl for years. It luckily didn’t harm his liver but it also didn’t help him much. Galliprant was not out yet. My younger one now takes it and seems to be doing much better. My vet is reluctant to prescribe Tramadol because it is an opioid.[/quote]
