Aspirin, Advil or Tylenol?

A: Advil and all ibuprofen products are very likely to cause ulcers in dogs. This can happen in as few as 1 or 2 doses with these medications. Tylenol and other acetominophen products are sometimes implicated in liver damage in dogs, although this appears to be a rare problem. Aspirin is usually safe to use but does cause stomach upset in some dogs and can cause ulcers. It would be best to call your vet and get a dose for your dog and possibly to consider having the swelling checked out as well. Aspirin is not recommended in injuries in which the swelling may be due to hemorrhage as it can promote bleeding. Despite their "over the counter" nature in humans, it really is best to consult with your own vet, who knows your dogs, prior to using these medications.
