My lemur hurt his arm. Can I give him Tylenol before seeing a vet?

Question

My 3 1/2 month old lemur hurt his dominate (left) shoulder/arm. Unsure what happened. He can put some pressure on it but doesn't completely use it. He squeaks if you try touching it. Can he have childrens Tylenol to keep him comfortable until I get him an appointment? Pet's info: Exotic | Unknown - Exotic | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 21 days old | 1lb

Legally, we are prohibited from recommending medication for your pet in the absence of a physical exam and a VPCR (veterinarian-patient-client relationship). Tylenol may be toxic to lemurs and would not be recommended anyway. Ideally, Zoomee should be examined by your veterinarian after which the appropriate medication or treatment can be dispensed or administered. Restrict his activity until he sees the doctor.
