I would NOT give the Rimadyl. Pain will help keep him from using the leg so it will heal faster. Without the pain, he may start running around, causing more damage. Soft tissue damage can take a very long time to heal - I speak from experience. Also, Rimadyl can cause liver damage. I use holistic methods for healing, homeopathics, acupuncture, etc. I have found that acupuncture has excellent results for healing injuries, again from personal experience for myself and my dogs.
