My dog has neck pain on meds. Is it normal he's still in pain?

Question

Brought my dog 3 days ago to the vet, has neck pain. On tramadol methacarbamol and gabapentin. His yelping is less, but still there. Is it normal for him to still feel pain with all this med? It is noticeably less, but still there.

It can take a long time (2-4 weeks, in most cases) for symptoms to resolve completely with rest and medication. So as long as things are gradually improving, I would be patient and continue to follow your veterinarian's instructions :)
