So Can I Give My Dog Aspirin For Pain?

By Geraldine Dimarco


All of us profess a deep love for our dogs-and why not? They are great to be around with and they love us unconditionally. We want the best for them but unfortunately, we can't shield them from all the aches and pains that many canine diseases bring. We must find out more about the things that we can give them so that we don't make the mistake of administering to them the wrong medication and risk further harming their health.

There are a lot of canine diseases out there that cause our dogs pain. And unless your dog is uniquely gifted with the ability to talk fluently in your language-you won't be able to accurately identify the source and causes of his suffering. We should know about the different canine conditions there are and in doing so, find an effective dog pain management treatment to help ease them of their discomfort.

If you are like me, you've asked someone a couple of times-can I give my dog aspirin for pain? I mean, very seldom do you hear people complain about aspirin, what harm could it do for our dog-right? Wrong. You may not know it but aspirin when used consistently in small amounts can be a cause of future health problems that are more serious than probably what you were originally treating him with.

Many alternative drugs are available in the market that you can use to help get rid of your pet's pain. NSAIDs or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed by most vets to treat pain. These NSAIDs are often taken in conjunction with supplements that specifically alleviate arthritic discomfort. Rimadyl, Etogesic, Novox and Zubrin are examples of NSAIDs deemed generally safe for usage.

More and more pet owners are turning to natural and homeopathic therapies to help them deal with their pet's dog pain. They are generally safer than most drugs because they contain natural elements instead of manufactured synthetic chemicals to treat any deficiencies. You can find many of these great supplements in reliable pet-care stores online.

Do not administer over-the-counter prescription human medication to canines at any time. Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen and Advil are some pain relief drugs we use that must never find its way to our dogs' systems. They contain chemicals that are too harsh for animals. For terminally ill dogs or dogs that are in extreme pain- narcotics and steroids are sometimes used. However, you must never administer these very strong chemicals without the go signal of a licensed vet.

Human pain relief medications are toxic to dogs. Aspirin thins out the bloodstream which creates serious health problems; especially if your dog just underwent a major surgery, has an internal injury, or is experiencing acute bruising in his body. If you're still wondering-can I give my dog aspirin for pain? The answer is a definite no.

Periodic trips to the vet will help in ensuring your dog's health. It is important that any disease will be brought to your attention at its earliest possible time, to avoid severe consequences. Go ahead-find out more reliable facts on your dog's best health and enjoy more quality time with him today!
