charlotte hill 0 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 When our Springer was injured, we gave him Ibuprofen.....at the vets request, seemed to work. Eased pain and took down any swelling. Seek advice first though...this was about 2 years ago!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's plenty of painkillers for dogs: Norocarp (Rimadyl) is the most comonly used one. I'd try asking your vet if he has heard of it!! :realmad: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our eldest Rotties takes mine, you can buy this for a couple of quid at any chemist type place and just work out the dosage/ratio compared to us humans, our Stella has never been so mobile and if you feel you need professional advice, there is an online vet type site to be had, that you'd find via Google etc............Al :thumbs-up: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
