Is Tiger Balm safe to use on my small dog for joint pain relief?

You may see some stomach upset (vomiting or diarrhea). Tiger Balm is moderately toxic if ingested in large amounts. Typically, a short fast followed by a bland diet can resolve minor upset. See your veterinarian if any upset or limping persists.

As of yet, we have very little research on CBD oil in veterinary patients, so we cannot make any recommendations one way or the other about this product - we do not know what an appropriate dose might be, and if there are any potential health concerns or drug interactions in dogs. It's also illegal for vets to recommend using it because it's a Schedule 1 controlled substance. Sorry I can't offer a perspective!

I'm sorry that Moo-moo is hurt! Unfortunately, both ibuprofen and Tylenol are toxic to dogs, so you cannot give her either of these medications. There are no over-the-counter human pain medications that are safe for dogs, so I'm afraid that you will need to take her to the vet for an exam - he/she can prescribe a safe and effective pain medication for her if needed.

I'm not aware of any essential oils that would interact with Tylan powder. Dogs can be sensitive to topical essential oils so you may want to be cautious with their use. I personally wonder what it is like for an animal with such a sensitive sense of smell to experience essential oils - this might be more fun for people than pets.

I would not recommend giving this medication to Blackie. I would recommend having him checked by your vet and letting your vet make a recommendation for the appropriate pain medication. If Blackie has other issues going on certain pain medications can be contraindicated. The acetaminophen in this drug you were asking about could be potentially harmful to his liver and may not work as effectively as other drugs that are labeled for dogs. I hope you can get him feeling better soon. Best of luck.

No, I am afraid all of these have severe risks of toxicity for dogs and cats which is why we have specifically developed medications for dogs, such as carprofen or meloxicam, or deracoxib or similar. NSAIDs for humans can cause liver and kidney damage in dogs. Please consult your veterinarian for antiinflammatories for your dog.. There are also cheaper generic formulations than then usual name brand.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bimbo. Motrin is very toxic to dogs so you will need to stop giving him that medication. It can cause severe kidney damage or even ulcers in the stomach or intestines. Ulcers can be indicated by black tarry or coffee grounds like stool. I suspect you were right that he is painful based on your description of his behavior. Small breed dogs can be prone to back pain. The muscles that line the spine can spasm making the dog very sore. There not over-the-counter pain medications that I can recommend for him. I would keep him very quiet and carry him as much as possible. Encourage him to eat and drink as much as possible. If there is any way he could see a veterinarian, it would be best. I hope this information helps.
