I would go ahead and give to him and just keep a eye on him. And ask another vet’s opinion.
at age 15, you only want to make the dog comfortable since it wont be around much longer. Do u really want to not give it pain meds cause it could harm them after many years? thats just unfair. Keep the dog as comfortable as possible and plan to put her down when the time comes.
