She´s 12 1/2 with arthritis. In my book that´s equal with painkillers no matter what.
My Annie is 7 and has spondylosis and possible arthritis in one paw. She´s on a life long Metacam prescription and on periods when she´s not limping I will reduce the amount of medicin by half. Annie is a major dramaqueen when it comes to small things but doesn´t say a word when in real pain.
So please, consider giving medicin to Your Pretty Girl.
