is there any painkiller i can give my poodle puppy, he has just stepped into a boiling cup of coffee and i cant get him to a vet until tomorrow morning. he is unsettled and i am sure he is in pain. i have washed his paw in cool water and cant see any marks, but he must have burnt it.

Aloe Vera is a great relief for burns and it relieves the pain as well as the heat from the burn, never give a dog tylenol as it is bad for their liver, aspirin is a much better pain reliever for dogs.

To soothe a burn you must put the affected part in cool water for 20 minutes, its not too late to do that now.
Phone the vet; they have an out of hours service and can suggest a suitable dose of aspirin based on his body weight. Have a pen and paper ready when you call as you will probably be re-directed and will need to write down the out of hours phone number.

ouch, the poor baby. I would just keep a cool cloth on it as much as possible, I would not take a chance on giving him any painkiller, even aspirin can be harmful to a dog. I would try to contact any emergency vet you may have in your area, they may be able to give you some further advice. Best of luck to you and the pup!!

Do the antibiotic pills have a label with a veterinarian's call revealed on it? If no longer, stop giving them! and don't supply any OTC meds for discomfort. Take your new puppy on your veterinarian as quickly as you will get an appointment! you need to have your new puppy appeared at, have her vaccination records reviewed with the aid of your vet, and enable them to prescribe suitable drugs. they are in a position to additionally reveal the thank you to manage the medicine.

I know that when treating burns on a person they should not be kept wet. A burn should be loosely wrapped in gauze to allow it to breath with out being contaminated. Keeping it in water will only deteriorate the skin further.

Keep a cool cloth on it, other than that not much you can do. Never give your dog a pain medication unless your vet says it is okay!!

i have given my dogs aspiren, but that it a pup i wouldn't give him anything, just make sure his paw is clean for a few days and he should be fine if there are no markings from thr hot coffee on his paw.

Keep a cold compress on the paw and if you really need to give him something you CAN give him half an asprin

DO NOT GIVE HIM ANY PARACETAMOL. This is a deadly poison for dogs, and WILL kill him. Stick with the cold water, it's the best thing you can do for now.
