Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Prince! I would expect some improvement, if it is going to work, in 3-7 days. I would continue with the prescribed dosing and contact your Vet at day 5 if there is no improvement. Maybe they can add additional pain relief. I wish Prince the best!
