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.

Both of these medications are toxic to dogs, so please do not give either of them to Shadow. Unfortunately, there are no over-the-counter human pain medications that are safe to give, so if you think he needs pain medication, you will need to take him to the vet for an exam - he/she can prescribe a safe and effective veterinary drug for Shadow if needed.
