i am going to commence off with what I actually hate about my vet. a million) i purchased a puppy from a puppy save. i comprehend shame on me undesirable theory. i actually did not comprehend any extra appropriate on the time. I comprehend now yet love the pup so i'm no longer going to take her decrease back or some thing like that. anyhow, my vet became rude and really made me sense like an fool about buying a puppy from a save. I favor she would were nicer and advised me why it turned right into a nasty theory. 2) She isn't very loving in the route of pets. notwithstanding, she became loving with my canines because it really is not any longer commonly used you spot a 2 lb Yorkshire Terrier at 9 Months. I favor she would have dealt with the different pets a touch extra appropriate. 3) They replaced their hours because a vet left. He became very reliable yet they did no longer ought to virtually close the position down because he left. Then there are truly some issues i love about my vet. a million) they're very affordable at the same time as it contains photos and medicine. 2) they're very helpful, even their secretary became an excellent help. Our Yorkie kept going hypoglycemic and they were very helpful in our subject and cared a lot for her. They even gave us a wide spoil on moist foodstuff until eventually shall we get her decrease back to favourite. 3) they're budget pleasant for heartworm medicine and continually deliver notifications once you want extra. 4) they have pup practise for doggies that favor residing house damaged and different issues jointly with: the thanks to renounce them from chewing on fixtures, crate practise, what to do in circumstances, etc... 5) they have an excellent 24 hour emergency line you could attain a real vet at. this isn't someone interpreting from a operating laptop or computer and typing, it really is an definitely vet, from time to time your vet, and is particularly knowledgable. 6) they're very versatile. We were going away on holiday and forgot the agenda an appointment for a checkup and photos earlier we left and they slid us in after workplace hours. they did not cost more suitable or some thing. 7) also they do no longer mark up their puppy resources like different places. Their leashes and collars are o.k. priced extraordinarily with the alternative they have. they have treats and foodstuff they advise feeding your puppy. Eukanuba and Iams. reliable success!

NO WAY! you really need to take the dog to your own vet and first see if it needs pain killers. If so only give it the ones the vet gives to you.

No. This is a medication for people only. It is poisonous to pets. If your dog needs something for pain, please consult your vet and get the right kind of medication at the correct dose. See the link below for further information on toxic medications.

Actually Dolifngrr is correct. A small dose will not do any harm, they use the paracetamol compound is some animal medication. However you must use the correct dosage. And a note to Wendy, if you knew what you was talking about you would be more than aware that certain animal medication can be taken by humans, like i said most of the compounds are the same

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
Never mind stupid answers, what a stupid question!!
What's up with the dog that you're contemplating giving it unprescribed medication?
Perhaps instead of asking Vet and Vet Nurses, you need to GET to a vet, for your poor dog's sake.
Sorry, if my answer causes offence, but really!!!

The Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) is warning cat and dog owners that human painkillers are dangerous when given to pets.
Common pain killers such as aspirin, paracetamol and ibuprofen are toxic to pets and can be lethal.
