Hello,

I have 13 year female Yorkie seems to be having problems with her back end.

She is curling her rear end and running really fast around trying to burrow under blankets and pillows. So that prompt me to make a visit to the Vet. The first vet told me that she has a luxating patella and arthritis. She ran some blood work in which all levels were normal except her kidney levels were a little elevated. So she advised me to avoid giving her dry food and start a wet food diet with low protein. Also sent me home with two medications. Azodly for kidney treatment and Tramadol for pain. Since starting this wet food diet and administering these medications she been knocked out and lost her appetite. So she sleeps all day and is up all night in obvious pain.
I go to work today and come home to my wife telling me that she was acting strange when she was drinking her water. Every time she goes to get a drink of water she starts shaking her head at it, as to say the hell with you for giving me this nasty medication.
So my wife felt very uncomfortable with her behavior So off we went back to the vet. Round 2 .. The vet tells me that he thinks she has a disc problem and we need to treat that before we move on with anything else. So he sends us home with Robaxin & Rimadyl. and stop giving her the other medication for now. I come home to google both Meds before I started giving them. I find out the drug Rimadyl is highly controversial. So I knew where to turn at the point.
I just don't know what to do for my little girl. It hurts me to see her like this.
Any advice I would gladly accept

Thank you
