Our 14-year-old Shitzu/Bichon cross is experiencing severe pain when moved, especially related to her spine. She is currently on 20mg of Ketoprofen once a day, which provides relief but only for less than 24 hours. Can she handle more than one pill per day, and what are the potential side effects? Are there better pain management options like steroid-based pain meds, and what are the risks and benefits of these alternatives?

What are your thoughts on this product and how should I proceed with managing her skin condition?

My 14-year-old German Shepherd has a recurring sebaceous cyst that has grown to the size of a grapefruit and is now draining. We are concerned about infection and the potential for a large hole to form if we drain it. Given her age, reduced mobility, and extreme stress at the vet, what is the best way to handle this cyst to prevent infection without needing to visit the vet?
