My dog is limping, vet closed. Can I give her leftover Rimadyl?

Question

My corgi suddenly started limping. I’ve examined her and the leg and feet seem ok. My vet is closed this weekend due to the holiday. Is it ok to give her some of her Rimadyl left over from her spay surgery until I can go to the vet in a few days? Pet's info: Dog | Welsh Corgi | Female | spayed | 1 year and 9 months old | 17 lbs

Hi there. As long as Ellie is otherwise healthy, rimadyl is fine to give at the labeled dose. She may have a sprain that will resolve, but I would make sure you rest her and if the limp does not improve take her in when your vet opens. I hope that helps.
