paracetamol

my dog bess was getting over excited earlier today and while jumping around whacked her tail quite hard on the radiator, shes ok, gave out a yelp and carried on jumping around with my other two, i checked her tail that seems fine, no cut but i can tell its a bit sore, i read somewhere that its ok for animals to take human painkillers, so im wondering do you think it would be ok for me to give her half a paracetamol or not, i dont want to chance it unless i know, thanx

Dont think parecetomol is okay to give and I wouldnt give asprin either sorry not sure so I cant say

I'm pretty sure a couple people here have given their dogs a half of paracetamol. Have a look though the health posts just to be sure though.

thank you

After researching pain killers when Dempsey had 'dead tail' I'd always advise not to give paracetamol unless told to by a vet.

Half an asprin would be better, just for a stop-gap but proper veterinary pain killers are best. Some vets will give you a small supply of pain killers if you ask.
