The vet gave me a bottle of Rimadyl (pain meds) to give to Chico twice a day for his new hip problem. I personally, cannot take very many pain meds because I'm very sensitive so I'm a little worried about Chico. I gave him one with dinner and he hasn't moved since. That was a couple of hours ago. He basically looks like he's on a really good one if you know what I mean. I know today was stressful for him and he is probably just really exhausted. He was also sedated so he could be still feeling the aftermath of that.
I was just wondering if anybody has used this medication before? I'm kinda "on the fence" about whether or not I agree with using a lot of drugs on my dogs. He is already on allergy meds. I don't want to just let him suffer either, so I guess I'll just see how it goes. Maybe he can cut back to half if he is feeling too groggy. Up until now, he's been all natural and getting around pretty good. It's hard to tell with these bullies though. I think it would take something really substantial for him to show that he is in pain. ](*,)
