Can you give a dog children's tylanol?
My dog has cancer. She has what is called a nerve sheath tumor. We have had it removed twice and now it is just a waiting game for it to become to much for her. Well, last night she took a turn for the worse. The tumor is on her belly and it is about the size of a cantalope. She can not lay down comfortably by her self, so I help her. But I have noticed that she is not sleeping and when I pet her she is shaking. The look in her eyes is devestating. She has gone down hill so fast I know this is the end and we are going to have to make the decision very soon to end her pain. With it being a saturday night, my vet is not open, so I thought I would ask here. Does any one know if I can giver her children's tylanol? She seems so uncomfortable and I just want to make her feel a bit better if I can.
This is so hard. Thanks for any advice.
Re: Can you give a dog children's tylanol?
I am so terribly sorry to hear about your dog. I know you want the best for your pet, and hate to see them suffer.
Tylenol is toxic to dogs. I would call an emergency vet for a recommendation for a pain OTC pain reliever. Aspirin is generally ok for short periods for dogs and might help with the pain.

ETA: Does your vet practice have someone on call? You could try that number. Also, I think some dogs are not able to handle aspirin, but I dont know much more than that, which is why I would consult with some type of professional over the phone unless someone else here has better insight.
Hopefully someone there can give you the ok on aspirin. Again, I am so sorry you are going through this.
How sad! I hope you're able to find something to help he pain soon!
Sounds like the PP had some great advice - so I'll just "ditto" what they said and just give my condolences.

Def get the ok from your Vet, but we were told buffered aspirin was ok for pain.
I'm so sorry about your dog.
