My dog cries getting up. What vet meds help his pain and mobility?
Hi there! Yes, there are a number of prescription medications that can be very helpful for dogs with arthritis issues, including NSAIDs such as Rimadyl or Metacam, tramadol, and/or gabapentin. Legally, we cannot prescribe medication for any pet without an exam, so you will need to take Rocky to a veterinarian in your area for an in-person exam and discussion of his issues. That veterinarian should be able to prescribe an appropriate medication for him to help with his pain and stiffness.

What's best for my dog's arthritis: Previcox, Meloxicam, or Galliprant?
Each of them work slightly differently but at the end of the day all three of them reduce inflammation which is probably the most important aspect of treating arthritis. there is no definitive answer to your question, each dog respond differently to pain medications, some dogs will benefit more from one over the other two. i would probably advise starting with Meloxicam first.

How much Meloxicam should I give my 7.5lb chihuahua for pain?
Unfortunately, by law it is illegal for the experts at Boop by Petco to give the dose information for any drug without seeing the animal in person first. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, the experts cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for your dog. You need to take Demi into the vet who can prescribe Meloxicam to him and can give him the correct dose.

My dog is hurting. What can I give him for pain relief safely?
Dogs can experience pain from a variety of health conditions, including [osteoarthritis](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/arthritis-1/),[ dental disease](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/dental-disease/), [urinary tract infections](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/utis-in-dogs/) or traumatic injuries, among many others. While it is extremely difficult to see our four-legged friends in pain, there are no safe and effective over-the-counter medications for managing pain in dogs (or cats). Over the counter pain relievers for humans, such as ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin), acetaminophen (Tylenol) and naproxen (Aleve) are all toxic to animals. Aspirin should also not be given to dogs because it causes significant irritation and potential ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract, and it inhibits a dog’s ability to clot blood. If you think that your dog is in pain, your best bet is to take him to your veterinarian. After performing a [physical exam](https://www.petcoach.co/article
