tylenol for dogs
Dog has stiffness in joints (old art moving in). He runs and is very active but when it's time to come in he pays with obviously sore joints. I think the vet said it was ok to give him tylenol but now I'm not sure. Asprin upsets his stomach. Any help? Thanks Kay

It's going to bug me now... I will ask next time I go into my vets, it was more than probably one of the ones you said.
I'm not so good with drug names

While I can't recommend medication ,even though I did use aspirin on my dog with my vets advice for years,apparently that has changed. This was 20 yrs ago.

I did massage him twice daily and it really helped his discomfort.He would moan and stretch and he just appreciated it so much.I had a German Shepard with hip dysplasia.

Here is a link for massage.It will not get rid of the arthritis but it helps with the discomfort.

Had to spread the rep Artsy but great site!
I'm sure any little bit of relief would be welcome to them.

Asprin is fine for dogs but only as an 'occasional' thing, it has now been linked to things like blood clots when used for a prolonged amount of time.

Hehe, no problem, it's actually pretty new to me as well, there were studies done and the results were only released a few months back.
It was on one of those "current affairs" shows and it showed that people who regularly took asprin were more at risk of heart problems and blood clots.
That was only for taking at least 1 asprin a day for many months, even years.
Giving them to your dog for a strained muscle or something similar for a week would not be a problem...

But just for anyone else reading this, you should always consult your vet before giving your dog asprin though as they will need to help you work out the correct dosage for your dogs size (it is not the same as a human dosage, it is much lower)
