    Don't give any of the newer stuff, acetophen, Tylenol, Advil, Ibuprofen, etc. You could give buffered Aspirin, 5 mg per pound of body weight, a standard 325 mg tablet for a 65 pound dog. It may be easier to dose small dogs with baby size tablets.

    I am asking to have this moved to the dog forum.
