Ok, my dog is a 10 year old beagle and has back problems. She once got a shot when she was younger to keep her spine plates in place. A few days ago i noticed her having pain. She kept her tale between her legs and barelly moved. Today she wouldn't even eat a treat and she wouldn't move at all barely. She started shaking really bad and panting. She felt hot under her chin and on her stomach. Is there anything i could do to help ease pain before i can have her go to the vet?

Hmm......since she has had back problems before, I would also assume something is wrong with her back again. The signs you explained also are symptoms of back pain. Unfortuneately there are no over the counter pain meds for dogs, tylenol and ibuprofen are fatal for dogs!! Sounds like you are going to have to take her to the vet and get some oral meds and maybe a shot for the pain. Unless her back problems are severe, I would doubt that the vet would put her to sleep. Just keep her rested and don't let her jump on furniture or beds until she has seen the vet!!

I'm glad to hear you're a responsible & caring pet owner by taking prevententive measures to ensure a healthy pet. It's very possible the pet is experiencing problems unrelated to it's back. Given the description of the problem, I would take the dog to the vet immediately.

Yahoo! solutions is so huge that the purely time issues get deleted is even as they stand out for some reason: a document monkey stated it as a contravention, or if it has copyright infringement. on account that Boyle's video is everywhere on the information superhighway immediately, I doubt it become copyright infringement, so it become probably stated by using a tattletale. unhappy to assert, yet there's a bunch of people on Y!A with not something to do yet bypass searching for questions/solutions they could document.

Take her to the vet ASAP. You can try to help her with her pain, but the vet will really be able to do the most, and the sooner you get her there the better.

take her to the vet. Put ice or ice packs on and around her body on the way there. Tell her you love her and see what the vet says about her health. Good luck! I've been there to.

No. Never give you dog any type of over the counter medication to your animal without first consulting your vet.

Most dogs can tolerate asprin until you can get to the vet.
Here's a website with the dosage by weight.

you can give her an aspirin...nothing special just plain old aspirin and it will help with her joint pain and also with a fever. If you notice an improvement then continue to give her one every other day for a week.

Take her to the vet. She may have an infection from not being able to pass her urine.
