Default yorkie and arthritis

Hi all,

my yorkie baby is almost 7 years old and he's getting arthritis in his two hind legs. The vet took a look 2 weeks ago and says she couldn't tell if he's in pain or not since he was shaking while she was checking him. But she did say that he'll get arthritis as time go by. She also says his knee caps pops in and out. The vet prescribed Temaril-P tablets and the meds are almost out. I do notice sometimes at night, but not always, he will lick and bite his legs.

For 2 months, I been giving my yorkie baby cosequin ds, half a tablet. Since these are only supplement, and I do notice that he has more energy and play with my other yorkies more, but it seems as though he is in pain at night.

Is there any kinds of meds I can give my yorkie baby at night for some pain relief?
