My 12 year old dog has arthritis in hips. He still gets around ok but has slowed up and is stiff after lying down and after strenuous play.
He can't have metacam due to other medication he is on and is already on a joint supplement (although having done some research am going to try adding green lipped mussel)
Vet has prescribed paracetamol twice daily. I asked her re side effects and damage to his liver and she said at correct dose it should be fine and it's about weighing up the benefits against any risk.
Maybe I'm over worrying, she's the vet not me ! But i haven't heard it being prescribed much in dogs. Does anyone else use it on their dog or have any knowledge of its use ?
