With sprains, there will also be swelling, so aspirin would be your best choice, since it reduces swelling and relieves pain. The dosage of regular aspirin for dogs is 10 - 35 mg per kg of body weight (1 kg is approximately 2 1/4 pounds). So if your dog weighs 45 pounds, then his weight in kg would be approximately 20 kg. You would then multiply that times the dosage of 10 - 35 mg (one regular aspirin is 325 mg), but it's best to give the lowest effective dose, then give it every 8 - 12 hours with a bit of food. Start out with the lowest dose, then gradually increase it until you reach the dosage that is effective for your dog. So for a dog that weighs 45 pounds, the highest dose you could give him would be two regular aspirin, which would be 650 mg, since they come in 325 mg tablets.
