NO! Advil and Tylenol can kill dogs! If you're going to give it a pain reliever, the ONLY thing you can give it is a baby aspirin, and even then, dependiong on the size, you may not be able to give it a whole one. If you love your dog and it is in pain TAKE IT TO THE VET, don't ask people on Yahoo Answers.

No, No and No.
You can give her baby aspirins. I used them for years with both of my dogs who had arthritis. We had very good results with it also. Since yours is a small dog, I would start her out on 1/2 a tablet a day and gradually work up to a whole tablet in about a month. However, you could also call your vet and ask if that would be an appropiate dose for her.

probably but i would ask a vet for dosing info, you dont want to give the dog an entire 200mg tablet a person would take espeically if its a small dog- might be too much and it could damage the dogs liver or give it an ulcer

I'm sure you can. A dog came into the vets office today and he gave his dog a asprin in a steak. So. Yeah. You can call a emergency vet and ask also.
Good Luck

... that answer is kinda obvious...
(if you dont know the answer, its no. Dogs dont have fingers, and they dont need to grab things with their paws)

No, because it's not for animals and our size proportions are very different.
