With regards to medication, it is always best to consult your vet first and foremost. There are painkillers and similar medication made specifically for dogs and your vet will know what medication and course of action to take in cases like these.

AnswerPlease do not give human medication to a dog. AnswerYou can give dogs aspirin. They sell "dog aspirin" at the pet store. It's exactly the same as the 81mg children's/low dose aspirin for humans. The low dose stuff is buffered so that helps with tummy upset.

Do not ever give animals Tylenol or any other Acetaminophen products. Ever. It can be fatal.

No, never give Tylenol or ibuprofen to your pet. They are dangerous to the dog. Only use a buffered regular aspirin. It must be buffered too or will cause ulcers or other stomach problems in the dog's stomach. Be sure to check with your Veterinarian as to why you are giving your dog aspirin or want to. The Vet has many pain relievers that are appropriate to what is causing the dog's pain. A good check up, if not already done, is in order with your Veterinarian. You also need to check with your Vet as to what dosage to give of the buffered aspirin.

Pain medications for dogs?

The most common pain medication for dogs is buffered aspirin, made for dogs, so it is chewable and is measured by their body weight. Such as Tablets of 600 mgs. that can be broken in quarters, a whole tablet for a dog that weighs 60 pounds usually. I recommend the buffered only, because your dog can't tell you when his stomach is bothering him, so you have no warning if the aspirin is doing any damage. There are some side effects with pro-longed use, and you should see your Vet if you need to use it on an on going bases, but as a anti-flamitory, and/or fever reducer for short term, use the Buffered Aspirin for Dogs. Make sure you weigh your dog before giving them the medication so, you give the proper amount. Also, check the bottle to see if it is a time release formula, many brands you need only give twice a day. If it appears that your dog needs stronger medication you need to check with your vet, there are other meds. they can give for more intense pain, and they are very effective. But you will need to have your dog checked in order to determine the level of medication needed. Finally, if after giving the buffered aspirin, your dog has diarrhea or vomiting, stop giving them the buffered aspirin and call your vet, and make sure you have the name of the medication with you. *** Do Not Use this Medication For Cats!***
