You should ask a vet. There's a lot of human medicines that will kill a dog and the dosage will be totally different based not only on the fact that dogs have smaller bodies but also their livers work differently to metabolize medicines. DO NOT GIVE A DOG TYLENOL. So ask.

No, The Tylenol in percoset is poisonous to a dog's kidneys
You can give your dog a single aspirin for pain but you really need to see a vet. If the dog has a torn ligament or tendon or ACL tear, then the sooner you get it fixed the better the chance for your dog's full recovery.

Medicine for people is never recommended for pets. Aside from the difference in mass, which affects the way the medicine is handled in the body, medicines will act differently in different species.
If you need painkiller for your pet, you really should see a vet. I know you would feel horrible if your dog suffered an overdose or some other harm because you wanted to spare him from some pain.

Only if you want to harm her.Never give your own medication to a pet as you could kill her and meds go by body weight and dose.Tylenol for instance is toxic.If your pet is uncomfortable and has leg pain have him/her seen by the vet to rule out a strain or a torn cruciate ligament(which could require surgery) or degenerative bone issues or OCD(elbow problems) or hip dysplasia.They will examine the limb,possibly take x-rays and can prescribe an appropriate medication-non-steroidal for the pain.

No, that is a very strong narcotic. You can give your dog a baby asprin,it is only 81 mg, but i would take it to the vet to get the right medication and find out just what is wrong.

No, and dogs are alergic to most over the counter pain medications. Try giving him a half an aspirin.

Absolutely, unequivocally, 100% NO!. You don't give pain pills to dogs. Ever. To my knowledge there's no 12 step program for canine recovery. You may want to consider one, though. Just kidding, please talk to your vet, I'm sure he'll tell you the pain difference between humans and animals. You just treat the symptoms with dogs, so I'm sure he'll prescribe something like an anti-inflammatory. Please talk to your vet!

you should not give a dog a prescription for yourself; it is too dangerous. Have you tried buffered aspirin/tylenol? Putting ice on it may help if it is inflamed. But by all means call your vet!

She could be taking Methadone and yes, that could be a symptom of withdrawal. Sometimes the brain plays funny tricks on you during withdrawal. With Methadone, it's basically another narcotic - it's just legal. They basically just ween you off the Methadone.
