Arnica is a holistic remedy that does wonders for pain. I have used it on my dogs and myself. Pano is a curious thing. It can come up at anytime and switch limbs. The only way to know if it is really pano is an x-ray. This can show the inflamation in the long bone of the dog. For a show dog, it can be frustrating. Been there, done that. I have found that using arnica and Ascriptin can reduce the pain and limping of a dog with Pano. Personally, I would not use Tramadol or other mind numbing drugs before a show.

I got it in our ocal grocery stores "whole foods" dept. Its some type of herb that hikers se if injured during an outing. The effects are almost immediate and wear ff fairly quickly.

My question is--what can I give him to ease the pain so he dosent limp? I have some tramadol left from my Jenna's operation last fall--that is an antiinflamitory, non-steroidal pain med-that is widely used for arthritis in dogs-I could use that-or is there something else--without spending lots of $ at the vet? Thanks, Cheri Cheri Hunt C *Pano is something that affects a dog as soon as he or she is entered n a show, and the entries have closed. I would spend the bucks at the et. Or, wait until he stops limping and have some xrays done to be ure it is just pano. If the tramadol has not expired, it would probably e OK.
