Ever consider CBD ?
Be careful with aspirin. Bad reactions are common.
Look for Carprofen. It's not that expensive. Looks like Chewy has it for down around .50-.70 a pill. Other meds like aspirin and acetaminophen can be toxic after long periods of taking it.
My vet prescribed Meloxicam for my old dog. She did bloodwork before and again after thirty days to make sure he was tolerating it. It made a huge improvement in his comfort level and what he is able to do.
Duralactin can be affective for general relief. It is milk based and easy on the dog. This what I would start with if not chasing something specific.https://www.duralactin.com/where-to-buy/https://www.amazon.com/Duralactin-Tablets-1000mg-Vanilla-Flavor/dp/B001TLKXLARead up on Gabapentin.https://www.petmd.com/dog/care/gabapentin-dogs-what-you-need-knowBe carefull with Rymadyl. It can be pretty hard on the stomach.

Here is a picture of what I used on my old chessapeak instead of rymidel. I twisted my knee once bad and took a couple of drops. Dog liked it but I don't think it tasted like bacon. Swelling went way down after use. Didn't have access to an ice pack.

You can buy CBD legally about anywhere. Fairwinds is an amazing brand and does make great products, but I would not purchase from a Wa state cannabis store as you’ll be paying the 40% excise tax. The industry has a 300% markup at retail to account for the state excise tax. The other major problem with some CBD brands is “under dosing” which means the 10mg of CBD in that dose does nothing. Studies show that dosage should be 2mg per 1lb body weight.With that said, I have zero affiliation with the following company. By far it is one of the best values on the market. Buy CBD isolate and make your own products or buy the CBD coconut oil. https://futurecompounds.com/product/cbd-isolate/
My hunting dog is 10.5 years old lab. Still hunts hard and chases big geese and ducks all day but then after the hunt he’s been getting really sore and I wanna help him out with some pain pills after the big hunts. I called a vet and they said 70$ for visit then do bloodwork for $250. Then pills look like 1.50$ a pill. Is that what I should expect to pay for just some basic pain killers for my dog. I’ve read human pain pills are bad for dogs organs. Just wondering if anyone has any other info before I spend 500$ for some ibuprofen for some sore legs.
