NEVER give human medicine to an animal without prior consultation with a VET - ANY answer you get on here will almost certainly be from an un-qualified person !

The correct dose of medicines are usually calculated by the animals weight. Phone or visit a veterinary practice in your area for a definitive answer !

How much paracetamol to give a springer spaniel?

Paracetamol is the trade name for acetominophen, which should not be used in canines. Dogs are very sensitive to the side effects of human pain medications and you can cause a fatal stomach ulcer with these drugs. If you believe your dog would benefit from pain medication, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian. There are safe pain medications for dogs, but you will need a veterinary prescription to get them.


Can you give your 12 year old female dog a little paracetamol she had op this morning but seems in some discomfort was thinking I could give her an eight of a tablet till morning?

No. Paracetamol can cause serious liver damage and problems with heamoglobin in the blood (what carries oxygen around the body.) Because your dog is fairly elderly the risk of serious side effects is even higher. It may not cause problems, and you aren't giving her that much, but just to be on the safe side, you should speak with your vet and tell him/her your dog is in discomfort and they can prescribe the right medication.
