We hate to see it when our pups are in pain.But you can't just give them an aspirin,right? So what can you give your dog to make them feel better?
A veterinarian can assess what kind of pain your pet is experiencing and how to address it properly. Depending on the prognosis, certain tests, bloodwork or X-rays may be conducted. Veterinarians will often prescribe non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), opioid-type medications or a combination of both,NSAIDs can help reduce swelling, stiffness and joint pain in dogs. According to the FDA, approved NSAIDs for dog pain include: Previcox Deramaxx Doxidyl Galliprant
ATTENTION You have to remember:Human NSAIDs, such as Ibuprofen and Tylenol, are toxic to dogs, even in small doses. It is wrong and it's dangerous to give human medication like Ibuprofen or Naproxen to dogs or cats, and Tylenol Extra Strength can be deadly to cats.
