Poor Shadow! Unfortunately there are no safe OTC medications you can give her. Many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. She sounds very painful, and it would be best if she saw a vet tonight. You can take her into an ER vet clinic; if you don't have one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. If you absolutely cannot get her into a vet tonight, keep her as quiet as possible and take her into the vet first thing in the morning. Good luck, I hope this helps!
