What can you give a puppy for pain?

Answer 1

Nothing from your own medicine cabinet - dogs are not little humans and react very differently to human medications. Human pain meds such as Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, aspirin, acetominophen, ibuprofen and other such drugs are very toxic to dogs and can kill them.

If you believe your dog would benefit from pain medication, you should take him to your veterinarian. There are safe pain medications for dogs, but you need a veterinary prescription to access them.

Answer 2

I know that our dog gets Antibiotics for some pain he has. I think you would have to contact a vet to get specific pain killer for your dog. I don't know anything about store bought pain killer for dogs.

Answer 3

Nothing - human medications can be very dangerous for dogs. Pain medications (Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, aspirin, etc.) can be fatal with a single pill depending upon the dog.

More importantly, dog bites are nasty wounds - they don't tend to show on the outside, but under the skin there can be a great deal of damage. Your best option after your dog is bitten by another dog is to take your dog to your veterinarian for an examination. I have known of dogs that were attacked by other dogs - the dog looks fine initially, then goes home and after a few hours is on death's door from a collapsed lung or internal bleeding.

Also, if possible you should find out if the other dog is current on its rabies vaccine.

Answer 4

Do not give a puppy any medicine without consulting a veterinarian. If the puppy is in pain, it probably needs to see a vet anyway.

Answer 5

I would call your vet and ask him if you can give your pet baby aspirins.
