Questionmy 13 year old labrador within 1/2 an hour went from walking ok to not being able to support her back legs we have laminate floors is it possible she may have strained a muscle slipping on the floor is there any over the counter pain killer i can give her to relieve any pain she may be in
AnswerThe only safe OTC pain killer is aspirin, preferably buffered aspirin. A regular 325 mg tables every 8 hours should be about right for most labs.
The slick floors can be treacherous. We have a hardwood floor with an industrial grade urethane on it. Young visiting Labs do a lot of sliding around.
