Maybe a simple aspirin would work for a day? A 325 mg coated Bayer maybe?

was on Deramaxx (similar to Rimadyl).  I wanted to try a new NSAID.  The vet did not want me giving any other NSAID for 7-10 days which would include aspirin.  I would not give her anything.  Poor baby,  maybe try to keep her quiet until you can get her meds.

I was out of the Rymadil and had Deramaxx, but my vet said don't use them together. She actually said 15 days after the last Rymadil

I gave Norbert an aspirin a day, but he was not on Rimadyl. I was instructed to use the Rimadyl as needed, while using the aspirin. I agree not to use Rimadyl with Deramaxx.

But my vet had no concern using Aspirin along with Rimadyl as needed.

Norbert was about 65 lbs then and he if I remember right was getting an aspirin morning and night.

MacKenzie used to be on Rimadyl daily 50mg 2x. I started him on GLM powder (Green Lipped Muscle) and was able to totally wean him off the Rimadyl. In fact I ran out of GLM for a week and he got so stiff, I was surprised at how much of a difference it has made.

one missed dose will not be a problem. However, have you heard of or tried etogesic. This is a med even used on peole, works very well in dogs, and is easier on the liver. Ask your vet about it. I used it with excellent results.
