    How did he hurt his leg? Has the vet examined him to make sure nothing is broken or dislocated? Most dogs do not need medication for pain unless it's severe enough for injections.

    It's not a good idea to self diagnose or self medicate anyone. Especially an animal that can't tell you what's going on.

    We can't tell you if giving your dog baby tylenol is okay. We don't know your dogs medical history, his age, or the nature of his pain.

    Your only option is to take your dog to a vet to examine what's wrong with his leg.

    NO! Human aspirin, even baby aspirin, is bad for dogs! It has been proven that even at low doses, human aspirin can still cause GI Ulcers AND does not have any level of pain control.

    Your dog needs to see a vet for proper pain management.
