No, simply that. Dogs need pain medication as perscribed by a liscenced vetrinarian.
Using Advil, Tylenol, or most other kinds of ibuprofen can cause damage to dog's livers, cause upset stomachs, result in ulcers, vometing,
The only kind that is okayed by vetrinarans is Aspirin, but you must be very careful on the dosage. Aspirin recommended dosage for dogs: five to ten milligrams per pound of a dog's weight, given every 12 hours.
Don't ever give aspirin to a puppy or a pregnant dog, and be sure that you always check with your vet because ibuprofens and aspirins can cause conflicts with other medical problems.
Thank you for asking.

I have heard that it is OK based on the specific dog. But, you should never give you pet any medication (human or animal) without first contacting your personal veterinarian. He/she is the person to give you that advice.
Your pet may have a health issue that would not allow him/her to take ibuprofen but someone else may be able to administer it to their pet.
You also have the issue of the size of your pet and what dosage you may be able to give them. Unfortunately no one here can provide you with a yes that you could trust. You don't know who is really providing the information. BE SAFE and contact your vet. Get an educated answer from someone that you know has the knowledge to answer your question.
If you call them, they will most likely answer your question over the phone. They may even provide a better way to take care of what ever is wrong with your pet.

SO - call your father and mom, call a cab, call an grownup. i do no longer think of you carry close the urgency of this. Your canine might desire to die when you consider which you're messing around no longer getting him to emergency care. it is that easy - and not getting him ideal care is a criminal offense pronounced as abuse overlook. GET HIM TO A VET N O W No, he won't. Ibuprofen - even one pill- could be existence threatening, even to a great canine. GET HIM TO AN EMERGENCY medical institution top away do no longer WAIT - liver injury does no longer take place till it particularly is purely too previous due pass on a similar time as they nonetheless have time to help him. you may desire to have long previous while it got here approximately...sigh.

Absolutely not..it is very toxic to dogs.
Asprin can be safe for dogs, however check with your vet BEFORE ever self medicating...never assume just because someone elses dog was prescribed asprin or any other medication that it will be safe to give your dog..there are some issues that make it extremely dangerous to give some types of medications.

Check with you vet. Some humans medicines are ok, but your vet would be able to tell you which ones and dosage instructions.
