Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Hydro really needs to see a veterinarian. If not eating or drinking then the cause for that needs to be addressed first. While aspirin is occasionally used in dogs it has a very low index of safety and should absolutely not be given to a dog who is not eating- as it can potentially cause fatal G.I. ulceration. There are no other otc pain medications safe for use in dogs at all. Please take Hydro to the veterinarian asap. Good luck and I hope he's better soon.
