Our 8.5 y/o EM is limping today. She has limped before in cases where she jumped off the bed or played to rough with Fiona and she recovered pretty quickly. Today she seems like she hurts a little worse. Her left leg is the leg that is bothering her and when she lays down she does not straighten that one all the way out. I think, again, she may have hurt a muscle or something while playing. She did not eat this morning and she has been VERY loungy. I was able to get her to eat this afternoon but I brought her bowl to her- she didn't want to stand at her bowl, I think. We won't make a habit of this but we wanted to see if her appetite was still there- it was.
I wanted to get some input on minor pain relief. I want her to heal up and feel better but she is pretty uncomfortable right now.
What have you given your dogs for pain? I looked into baby aspirin and find recommended doses very consistent. I would not want to give her too much obviously, but something to dull the pain. Maybe a couple babies? Let me know what you think.
If she keeps up the moping and limping we will take her to the vet in a couple days since she usually recovers.... hopefully she does soon!
Thanks!
