Dog pain killer???
Locust Fork
Member Posts: 31,687 ✭✭✭✭
My little Pomeranian is less than 10#....he attacked a BIG Golden Retriever several years ago (and lost the battle horribly.) He was lucky to have lived. He never used one of his back legs after he healed up.
Now it seems he is getting old and he may have problems with pain. He yelps out for no reason sometimes.....
I'm going to take him to the vet soon, but just wondered do people give asprin or Tylenol to dogs???
I don't remember ever having to do this sort of thing.

Tylenol can be toxic in dogs. They use coated aspirin for arthritis sometimes.
be careful as stated some drugs are more harmful then good for dogs that we take ,
My American Bulldog was doing the same thing. For no reason she would yelp,jump up and look to see if something had bitten her.
This went on for awhile and I took her to my Vet. and he said she is just getting old and has joint problems and prescribed a drug called
Tramadol for her.
Tramadol is restricted and prescription only but works well and is really inexpensive.I pay less than 16 bucks for 120 50mg. pills and give her 2 pills three time a day.(Yes that's a lot of pills but she weighs 130 lbs. )
The pills are really small but must taste bad so to make things easier,I hide them in a tad of peanut butter on the tip of my finger.
Talk to your vet and see what he says.There are several vets. where I take my dogs and none have a problem with Tramadol for dogs.
Talk to your vet about "Previcox", it has worked wonders on our Airedale.

There are quite a few human meds that can be used with dogs including allergy meds such as Benadryi and other OTC Antihistamines. Ask your vets some human alternative meds are significantly cheaper than Vet meds. Obviously you want to research this and get a vets opinion before administering the meds to your animal. There are quite a few websites that make recommendations.

RIMADYL is the first and original FDA-approved medication developed specifically for dogs to improve their mobility by reducing joint pain and inflammation.
My vet said of all the OTC pain meds only aspirin is ok for dogs.
You might want to inform your vet that a lot of good meds have been invented since the days he was grinding up willow bark to treat the dinosaurs with. [:D]
When our dogs get older we give them petaprin. Its designed for joint pain. They get around and act like young dogs when their on it.
where do you buy petaprin ?

Never give a dog Tylenol without asking your vet.
Nasty stuff - ruins your liver.
