1. DO NOT give human medication. Many anti-inflamitories such as ibuprofen and Motrin can cause serious health issues for your pooch. 2. If you're 100% positive that it is a pulled/ strained muscle, then treat with rest and ice for a few days. 3. Remember your dog cannot tell you exactly where it hurts, how bad it hurts, or how it hurts. Don't poke or prod too much. Even the most loyal pet can become aggressive when hurt. 4. If he's not better in a few days, take him to the vet. It may be a more serious injury, or Arthritis.

Get him to the vet, he may have done more damage than simply pulled a muscle. However, if it's just a pulled muscle, you will have to crate him for a little while to allow him to heal. Talk to your vet to see what he/she recommends and to get some pain-killer for the dog too.
