Your boy will get in the "habit" of not using himself. Too many nice fronts have been messed up by letting the dog "just get through it". Find another vet who will medicate, MetaCam or something else (me, I'm not a big fan of Rymadil). Kate S. in Canada told me about Orudis (over the counter in the US) years ago and that worked like a charm. Recently, some of the listers have used Albon w/ success (not sure of the dosage or duration), but for goodness sakes, don't just wait it out. Yes, he'll eventually get better, but you risk messing up his potential movement.
