My dog is crying after tooth extraction. What can I do for her pain?

Question

My dog just had a tooth extraction 8 hours ago. She's been crying ever since I brought her home. I don't know what to do to help her. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 4 years and 10 months old | 90 lbs

It could be that Chlie is in pain from the tooth extraction, but unfortunately there are no safe OTC human pain medications you can give. Many of them are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I would give your vet a call right away to get some pain medications for her. If you can't reach your vet, I would take her into a pet ER to be seen.
