It is not recommended to give any human medication to your pet without the advice of your veterinarian. Some medications can be toxic and others are easy to overdose. Ideally, Flossy should be examined by your veterinarian to diagnose the underlying cause. Your vet can dispense an appropriate medication if indicated. In the meantime, restrict her activity to just leash walks for. Avoid or prevent excessive running, jumping or rough play until she is feeling better.
