We have a 5 year old border collie who has something wrong with him. The numerous vets we have seen don't know what the problem is despite many tests.
Pain is an issue for him but he hides it really well (so I have no idea how much pain he is in). He is not normally on painkillers we just give them when we think he needs them. He has been on them for a week now and on Wednesday I called the vet about increasing the dose for that day as he was really restless and clingy. I've never had to do that before and I am not 100% sure that the pain was dealt with.
Dog is currently on pardale v and has had tramodol before, he cannot take NSAIDs at all.
Tomorrow we are going to discuss options* with the vet but I don't feel like I know enough for the discussion to really useful, so does anyone have any advice?
*I am aware that options include if and when to pts.
