I think that happens to many dogs, they just build a tolerance or get worse. When I mentioned to our vet that he seems to be building a tolerance after 2 years, she said that could happen, but usually it was the dog is getting worse. He’s at his max for duramax, so the tramadol helps a lot right now…when that can’t and he gets that “look” I hear about, we will have to say realize we have run out of options. but I always hope he goes in his sleep. Maybe that seems awful too, but I never had to put an animal down and I don’t think I would handle it well.
I am grateful for every day and that although labs hide pain well, my guy seems to be happy (most of the time) and hopefully with the warmer weather coming, be less stiff.
