My Labrador Retriever (12 years, 80 lbs.) named Darby has been treated occasionally for a cervical neck strain using Methocarbomol and Deramaxx. He woke up whining at 1:00 AM and shows signs of renewed pain and discomfort, mainly reluctance to turn his head to the right. We are out of both medications. My wife has some Cyclobenzaprine, but I'm pretty sure the dog can't have that. Any suggestions?

I have a 4-year-old Newfoundland who hasn't been eating much over the last couple of days, has started whining at random times, and seems to want more attention than usual. She is otherwise acting normally, and I have checked her for any signs of pain, but I'm worried as this isn't usual behavior for her. What could be causing this behavior and what should I do?
