What is best to give a dog that doesn't feel well,aspirin,tylenol,or sometrhing else ?

Answer 1

Take him to the vet. They will recommend what is best for the dog. They will also give you the correct dosage. No one on here is a vet, and I'd hate to see something bad happen to your dog because someone gave you inaccurate information.

Answer 2

Aspirin is safe for pain in dogs. However, it may not be safe for the type of 'feeling bad' your dog has. It has risks, and the benefits should outweigh the risks for any drug for a dog. The only way to know if aspirin is safe and helpful, is to actually know what is making the dog feel bad. Tylenol is toxic and so is Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil etc) If your dog happened to have a ruptured cyst , bruising or something similar, aspirin could be deadly. I would see a vet and find out the problem before giving medication from home.

Ahh yeah,,,benadryl is safe, but the dose is 12.5 mg 10-20 lb dog, and 25 mg for 20 lb and up. Saying one pill per whatever is dangerous, because they come in different strengths... It is NOT a pain reliever at all, and only helps with diagnosed allergies.

Answer 3

I surely have 2 Dobermanns that consume a very uncooked foodstuff organic foodstuff plan consistent with BARF. They run around on 8 acres and consume chicken frames, a good number of nice high quality bones & a dinner blend of all precise high quality mince and offal mixed with supplementations that mimic predigested grains and grasses that provide them the probiotics like they could get from the middle of prey they could consume interior the wild. My dogs have in no way eaten any processed dogs foodstuff moist tinned or dry kibble and that they are extra advantageous than satisfied and healthful dogs. i admire my domesticated dogs and supply them only the very ultimate. i'm satisfied to declare that no longer all domesticated dogs are dealt with the variety you describe. The exhilaration that a dogs can deliver to someones life is excellent and a exceptional sort of of the dogs breed that have been created does not final a minute interior the "wild" so as that they are happiest being with human beings. I only wish human beings could take extra care and positioned the time into feeding their animals (dogs & cats) the very ultimate.

Answer 4

Some of these answers are scary - and can easily kill your dog.

You need to get the dog to a vet to find out WHY
he doesn't "feel well" - that's a pretty broad description.

Dogs with arthritis take Rimadyl or (much better, but expensive) Metacam. Dogs in severe pain from surgery need a shot at the vets.

You do NOT give your dog human meds except maybe Benadryl for allergies, in careful doses.

Please don't play with your dog's health like this - get him to a vet and get the right medication for him.

Answer 5

Aspirin is the only one safe for dogs, but you need a CORRECT dosage. The dog should see a VET to find out what is wrong and what should be done.
Tylenol and Ibuprofen are TOXIC to dogs.
Excessive aspirin can cause clotting problems!!!!!!!

Answer 6

My vet had me give my dog low-dose Bayer aspirin for my dog to help with his arthritis

Answer 7

something else,

Answer 8

How about taking him/her to a vet and getting a diagnosis before giving them something?

Answer 9

I give my two cats half a Vicodin when I'm doing house work. It mellows them out enough so I can vacuum without them freaking out. Don't give them Tylenol though. I did that once to one of them and she was twitching for weeks.

Answer 10

I give my dog a Clariten daily because she has allergies.

There are many possible things to give them, but I don't want to tell you to give her something that could make her sick.

I think you should consult your vet.
