My dog has tooth pain, vet closed. What can I give for relief?

Poor Rusty! Unfortunately, there really isn't much you can do about this at home - there are no over-the-counter human pain medications that are safe for use in dogs, so your best option is to give him soft food until you're able to get him in to see the vet. He/she can take a closer look at his mouth, and can get him started on pain meds and antibiotics as well as scheduling a dental procedure to extract the painful tooth.

No, human pain medications are not safe for dogs. Many are toxic and can be fatal if given. If Mia is in a lot of pain, you need to take her into a vet immediately to get pain relief. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.

It could be that Chlie is in pain from the tooth extraction, but unfortunately there are no safe OTC human pain medications you can give. Many of them are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I would give your vet a call right away to get some pain medications for her. If you can't reach your vet, I would take her into a pet ER to be seen.

Oh no, poor Panda. Unfortunately there are no OTC pain relievers you can give him, many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I would take him into a vet now to get him pain relief. Best of luck.

It sounds like this tooth is really hurting Meatball! The only way to get him to calm down is to have this tooth treated, and to administer pain medications. Unfortunately there are no OTC pain medications you can give, many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I would take him into a vet today for this problem, from your description of his behavior, he is showing you he is in a lot of pain and is very uncomfortable. This is not something that should wait to be treated. Please take him into a vet now, best of luck!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Sam. Poor boy! Unfortunately there are no OTC pain relievers you can give him. Many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. You can try putting a cold compress on his neck where he got the bite to see if that helps with his pain. Have him seen by a vet first thing in the morning. Best of luck.

Hello there, I'm sorry but legally we cannot prescribe or suggest any drug dosages. You could try calling the nearest vet and they may be able to prescribe some pain relief for you to pick up to tide you over.
