I'd be careful with pain meds, maybe give the vet a quick call to see what their stance on it is if he really looks like he's in pain. Other than that, upping his dose of Glucosamine can't hurt to help him heal the damage as fast as possible.

Has he maybe hurt his shoulder ? Dillon's been to the vet due to a limp that came on today back paw. Seems he has knocked it or twisted it. On Previcox now for 10 days.
Normally I would say rest for a couple of days which may be all Jake needs. Dillon really was struggling so it needed looking at. Maybe rest him tomorrow see how he goes if it seems to stay the same or get worse then a trip to the vet wouldn't hurt.
I personally wouldn't use children's meds.
