Unfortunately, by law it is illegal for the experts at Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to recommend any drug, including OTC drugs, without seeing the animal in person first. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, the experts cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for your dog. If your puppy is in pain, I would have him seen by a vet right away so he can be examined for the source of the pain, and the vet can treat it him for it.
