My dogs vet is not available until tomorrow. He seems to have joint pain, his head and tail are down and he has trouble resting. What can I do until I can take him to the vet tomorrow?

plaace plenty of bedding around to provide comfort (duvets, vet beds etc) you can try massaging the areas that hurt. dont worry about exercise just short walks to urinate and defaecate. dont let him sit down for too long help him up every two hours otherwise he will become sore and painful. just plenty of rest try sitting on hte floor with him, he may feel better if someone is with him.
