We have a 13 y/o retriever who is having hip/shoulder pain. I explained to vet the situation and he is on tramadol. It was $14 for 60 pills, cheaper than the rimadyl--lots cheaper and it seems to be working better. So, if things are bad for him he gets 1 pill twice a day. His quality of life seems good most days still, but the last few days have been tough with it colder and damper. Hopefully your vet will work with you. I just told him we're at the doggie hospice stage and he understands. Our dog is 90 lbs so getting him into the subaru is tough on both of us. Good luck.
