Amoxicillin is a broad specific antibiotic ,not a pain reliever.

would you use anything to rub into a dog for say bruised shoulder things like that

[Bootsha 1,306]

I would be more tempted to put the dog under a lamp, to keep the muscle warm and on a BIG pile of shredded paper or similar to take any weight off the shoulder. I wouldn't rub anything in to it personnally, as the dog will, being a dog, lick it off if he can access it, and , unless its stuff designed for that purpose, may well do the dog more harm than good. Heat will do a muscle injury good, but with a joint or broken bone, is more likel;y to intensify the inflamation . Like in humans, muscle strain, hot bath, ligament / tendon injury, bag of frozen peas out of the freezer, same principle. Sorry forry the long winded reply Hope it may ease the injury of some dogs down the line.

I've found Zheng Gu Shui a very effective anti inflammatory and pain killer.

Not expensive, and although made for humans it was recommended to me by a canine osteopath, Robert Meek. I can vouch for this stuff as I need to use it quite regularly on my own messed up body and it certainly seems to help relieve soreness etc around joints, tendons, and muscles.

I use gold label witch hazel and arnica gel for muscle strains etc, works a treat. It brings out any bruising really quick and cuts down recovery time.
