Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 8 years and 3 months old | 75 lbs

I am taking care of a mature white Lab...he has a pinched nerve in his neck....the doctor prescribed methocarbamol, Tramadol, and Remadyl. Do you think this is too much medication or the right combo of medications? Im always cautious about Remadyl.

That is a very commonly-used combination of meds for a pinched nerve or disc problem in dogs, so as long as your dog is tolerating the medication well and you are giving is as prescribed by your veterinarian, I would not have any concerns at all.
