NO same it's the same type of meds you asked about before. It can cause liver and kidney damage.
Why is your dog in pain in the first place???

No.
Don't use anything unless directed by your vet. Ibuprofen is an NSAID and can cause kidney damage if not given at the correct dose - don't give human meds to animals, use the appropriate animal versions from a vet.
Animals have different metabolisms to us, and our medication is therefore not suitable for them, which is why more suitable animal versions of our medications are constantly being developed.

NEVER give Ibuprofen! Its toxic to dogs!!
Asprin is the safest over-the -counter. Try a bufferd brand that includes malox, so its easier on the stomach.
ALWAYS call your vet for dosing instructions.
Tylonol has been proven safe, again call your vet for dosages!

NEVER EVER give any pet ibuprofen. Just one pill of ibuprofen can cause a GI bleed and kill them. Please see your vet for advice on pain relievers. Buffered aspirin is OK, but please see your vet about the proper dosage. There are also many prescription pain relievers for pets now.

My vet told me I could give my dog (dauchaund) infant tylenol when he got stung on the eye by a wasp. Call you vet and see what he says for your breed of dog.
