I know I can't share my aspirin with my dog, but he has a leg injury and we can't afford a prescription for him. What can I try to give him to ease the pain?
I would never advise anyone to give your dog any drug unless you seek advice from a veterinarian. I would recommend comfort measures, and restricting dog's activities.
My vet recommends that I give my dogs an over the counter antihistamine. It may not have much of a pain releiver but the qualities of the product could aleiviate swelling and help the animal with possible irratants that could be worsening the situation.
Natural Fish pills are a good antiinflammatory pill and you can give up to 4 to 6 a day and also glucosimine with chondroitin is also very good for limps. Give daily.
