It depends on type, location, and duration of pain as well as the overall health of the pup.

You can start with Tramadol. Be consistent and watch for pain patterns. This ill not work well for some dogs. Standard of care for severe arthritis leans toward giving NSAIDs, but that is probably contraindicated in her case.

The half-life of Tramadol is short, so it meeds to be given regularly. Without knowing her weight and the pill strength I can't say much about the dose.
i can tell you that 3/4 of the standard 50mg Tramadol pill is a massive overdose se for a six pound dog.
