Question
Has a herniated disk - being medicated by a Vet with 3 tabs a day of Prdisone 20 mg & two tabs a day fo Nova Carprofen 75 mg.  He is in a lot of pain and the vet is closed, is there something OTC we can give the dog?  Thanks!

Answer
Jackie, I would call the vet.  The drug choices were good ones to help your poor lab's pain level.  There are a few others things the vet can do ... I have some helpful supplements but they don't work as quick as your pet needs.  Supplements can take weeks to a month for results.
Please call the vet ASAP.

Blessings to you

My supplements:  NuVET Plus -  Great to help re-build the immune system and helps with swelling and pain, too.

YOU  have to be careful because some OVER-the-Counter meds can cause internal bleeding... So, call the vet - please
