Ddog is a 6 year old lab/poodle cross. At nine months she was diagnosed with mild hip dysplacia but so far this hasn't given her many problems. About 5 months ago we noticed that whenever we took her on a very long walk (2 hours or so) she would be limping on her front left leg for a couple of days and then it would go.
We took her to the vet just after christmas as she seemed to be limping more and more on her front paw (in fairness we were walking a lot more than normal with her as both my DH and I were off work)
Vet prescribed Tramadol to be taken three times a day. I am not very keen on giving her this amount of medication unless she really needs it and I was wondering if I could just give her the tramadol when she needs it, rather than a definite three times a day.
Just for background she has Addisons disease and is on daily medication, the vet did say that there were other drugs rather than tramadol but they would interfere with the Addisons meds.
Sorry for the epic post but I wanted to give all the history.
If anyone can give me some advice I will be very grateful
