My dog has hip pain. What can I do if I can't go to the vet?

Question

My doggo has hip pain. My parents won't take him to the vet, so I've been trying other things to help him. We have been recently trying CBD oil, which hasn't done anything yet, but he's in pain currently and I was wondering if you could give me any advice. His pain is usually in the morning, it's typically worse after he exercises. He has a fat lump on his hip, but I don't think it causes him pain, cause he doesn't seem to care when I touch it.

I'm sorry Taz is in pain! He really should see a vet for this problem, as it's not nice to leave him in pain. Unfortunately you cannot give him any OTC pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. The best you can do is rest him. No running, jumping, or playing. Take him out to toilet on a leash, and bring him right back in when he's done. If this does not help, tell your parents you spoke to a vet who strongly urged you to take him into a vet. Best of luck.
