I think my dog is in pain. What should I give him?
Dogs can experience pain from a variety of health conditions, including [osteoarthritis](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/arthritis-1/),[ dental disease](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/dental-disease/), [urinary tract infections](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/utis-in-dogs/) or traumatic injuries, among many others. While it is extremely difficult to see our four-legged friends in pain, there are no safe and effective over-the-counter medications for managing pain in dogs (or cats). Over the counter pain relievers for humans, such as ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin), acetaminophen (Tylenol) and naproxen (Aleve) are all toxic to animals. Aspirin should also not be given to dogs because it causes significant irritation and potential ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract, and it inhibits a dog’s ability to clot blood. If you think that your dog is in pain, your best bet is to take him to your veterinarian. After performing a [physical exam](https://www.petcoach.co/article

Hello, my little dachshund jumped off the bed approx. week ago. She has hurt herself and I'm hoping it's a pulled muscle not her spine. When I run my hand along her left side she draws her skin up, but not when I run down her spine. She cannot jump o
Unfortunately, there are no safe OTC pain relievers for dogs. Many are toxic to dogs, and can be fatal if given. Taking Lilly to the vet is the right thing to do, and the vet can prescribe her a safe pain and inflammation reliever, such a Rimadyl.

Today i tried to carry my dog but he started whining and yelping, i started checking where the pain was coming from and its from his back legs and lower back. 3 months ago when i took him to the vet they told me that he has a back injury , they then
Sorry to hear about Clive. The mainstay treatments for orthopedic injuries are pain killers and anti inflammatories (NSAIDs). Since there may be a spinal / neural component to this, neuropathic medications and muscle relaxants may also come in very helpful especially during times of additional breakthrough discomfort. The type of medication to be dispensed will ultimately be a discussion with your primary vet, but NSAIDs that are common include carprofen (Rimadyl), deracoxib (Deramaxx), and meloxicam (Metacam). Other medications are things like opioids including tramadol and hydrocodone. In terms of the back, I would consider medications like gabapentin and methocarbamol to address this. There is another medication that I use in patients with refractory pain called amantadine, but I find it only effective when used in conjunction with NSAIDs. The periodic or daily use of many of these medications should be coupled with blood work at least twice yearly to be sure liver and kidney

Bella had dental and seems well. Had 4 teeth pulled and only one suture. Vet asked if it was ok to send home pain meds. Gave 5 days of .1ml loxicom. She has never had this and reluctant to give her it. I am giving the clindacure as directed but she i
The loxicam is an anti-inflammatory medication. While it helps with pain it also helps swelling around the extraction areas and promotes healing that way. The antibiotics prevent infection but do not have any effect on inflammation from the procedure. As Bella is doing well so far I would recommend giving the loxicam to help healing. However if she has any issues afterwards such as vomiting, diarrhea and/or decreased appetite stop this medication as rarely it can have adverse effects on the liver/kidneys.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Perhaps they could add a medication for pain control at this point. In that case, I would recommend something like Tramadol for example. That should help him. Best of luck!
