When my dog tore a ligament in his knee, we gave him one of my vicoden (5mg/500 mg Tylenol at the time) and that was ok. There are several sites out there if you google dogs and pain relievers. My dog is a rotterman, so he is a big dog, so depending on your dog's size, the upper limits will vary. I wish I could remember the formula I found for how much aspirin/Tylenol was ok per pound...I think it was something like 15 mg's/ per pound. I would look that up first as that was a few months ago.

I have a dog who is getting old now that just got a prescription for Rimadyl, which costs over $200 a month and beyond the cost seems to have some really serious risks and side effects. Googling got me the info that when we tried aspirin we may not have been giving her enough, so we're going to try that, but I was wondering if anyone here had researched this or had other suggestions or ideas. thanks Dana ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:346071 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
