We ran out of her pain medicine, and can't get any till tomorrow. She has a strained tendon in her back leg. She's not whining, but she's acting a little stiff and sore.

No, You shouldn't. You should only give your dogs buffered aspirins. Here is a site to give you the correct dosage http://animalsunlimited.net/meds.htm

Aspirin is ok but only give the dog a quarter of a piece at the most. Our family dog has twice had a high fever and that helped him a lot until we got some medicine from the vet

No, unless you OK it through the vet. It can cause gastric bleeds and liver problems. Aspirin is a better choice, but you should check with the vet before giving anything.

Advil/Motrin (Ibuprofen) and Tylenol (Acetominophen) are toxic to dogs, how much will kill them of course depends on their weight. Aspirin is ok to use for one night, long term usage is 7 times more likely to cause bleeding stomach ulcers than dog approved pain meds from your veterinarian.

Buffered asprin is ok for dogs.
The general dosage is 10mg per pound every 12 hours.

no you can't, my dogs got into ibuprofin once and we had to take them to the vet because they got REALLY sick, as long as your dog isnt whining, she should be ok until morning, but definetly DONT give her ibuprofin

No..ibuprofen is not good for dogs...I would consult your vet before doing anything in your own.

You will kill your dog if you do that.
NO! How in the hell do you know if your dog has a strained tendon?
