pain medication for small dogs

Question
I have a 2 year old pomeranian who weighs only 5lbs. She was born with her
knee caps out of socket. Being born with this, it doesn't pain her the way it
normally would. Somedays though, she exerts herself a little bit too much,
(climbing things she is too small for, jumping down from things, running too
much etc.) and you can tell she will be a little sore the next day. (She will be a
bit stiff on her back legs, she won't be very active etc.) I know she isn't in a
huge amount of pain, just discomforted / sore and my question is when this
happens, is there anything over the counter I can give her to ease the
discomfort? I have seen that people sometimes give pets children's asprin etc
but for a dog of her size I would like advice on dosage or if it is even an
option. Thanks you!

Answer
Hi Jodi - A baby asparin 81 mg is fine for a larger dog to take for pain.  It does rip up the belly over the long haul... I would not refer you to this because she is so small and it will be tough on her stomach.

For her knee ( patella) problem, there are thousands of dogs taking supplements and having wonderful results.  NuVET Plus and NuJOINT plus are a must for your pom.. Will cost you a little more than 1.00 per day / MUCH safer than anything the vet can offer you.
Call on Monday and order some : Ask the girls about the MONEY back guaranteed trial - Give it 90 days and see what the two products can do for your pom kid.
Make sure you call - Don't order on the Internet store - YOU want to talk to a "real person", for your first order... OK

Give code 81098 ( This is a vet/breeder code - YOU can't buy from NuVET without the order code)  They don't sell to the public without this code.
YOU can visit the web site and read all the testimonials -
REMEMBER to call on Monday with the order -
You will want a 90 of the NuVET Plus and 180 of the NuJOINT Plus - This will cover you for 90 days of the program.
1-800-474-7044 (Remember ordering code 81098 )

Also, please buy some PURE Salmon oil from any pet store... Make sure it is the pure kind.  Give her 1/2 a teaspoon per day.
Excellent for her joints and coat.  Low cost, too.

Please e-mail me weekly on her progress.  We can add other oils and vitamins if needed.  

I am available to all the NuVET clients by e-mail: FREE of charge...
