Unfortunately there are no safe over the counter pain medications for dogs or cats. If the pain can be located other than in the chest or abdomen, you can cool the area to relieve some pain. If your dog has severe pain you should see an out of hours veterinarian for an exam and a prescription.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are no safe over the counter pain control medications that can be recommended. This requires a visit to a veterinarian. I would recommend you consider at least contacting your veterinarian as they may approve to her started on more medications. Keep in mind they may want to evaluate her again before prescribing more medications. Best of luck!
