NO! Dogs are not little humans and do not respond to human medications like people do. Giving a dog human over-the-counter pain medications could kill the dog; I have seen this happen before.
If you dog is in pain, you should ask your veterinarian what you can do for him/her. There are several medications available that are specifically designed for dogs, although they can be expensive. Also, your veterinarian should do a complete physical exam, possibly with bloodwork or other lab tests, to determine what is causing the pain.

∙ 12y agoNo, you should never give dogs any medications that were intended for humans. Dogs are very sensitive to these medications and can develop fatal stomach ulcers from even one pill. If you suspect your dog has a fever, you should take it to your veterinarian for examination and treatment.

Dosages that are safe for humans can be seriously harmful or even fatal to a dog. If you suspect your dog needs treatment, you should take it to your veterinarian who can perform an examination and prescribe safe treatment if needed.

600 mg is considered as a relatively low dose, I would recommend trying a dose of atleast 2000mg mixed in with some cocaine and a shot of Tabasco. Source: I'm a doctor and a long term paracetamol abuser.

You have taken codeine30 with paracetamol can you take tramadol50 as its been 3 hours since you taken them?
Tramadol is a very strong pain killers and I would not recommend you take it with Codeine or Paracetamol as Tramadol already contains Paracetamol and will increase your risk of experiencing unpleasant side effects. I would recommend you continue taking your Paracetamol or Codeine every 4-6 hours as prescribed and take your last dose before bed. The next day, begin taking Tramadol but at a low dose, for example only 1 pill because Tramadol can also have some unpleasant side effects. If your pain is very severe, you should contact your Doctor, particularly if your pain relief is not working and/or the pain came on suddenly.
What to give your dog when hes scared?
You can try diphenhydramine (Benadryl). It is safe for dogs, he cannot OD, but start with a very low dose and increase it in small amounts. Sounds strange, but you can try wrapping his ribs, chest, and neck loosely with an Ace wrap too. It doesn't always work, but when it does, it works well.
