I would recommend against using this as a pain medication. Please read the following article ( https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/tylenol/ ). I would consult with your veterinarian for recommendations on what to use. You can get a prescription medication from your veterinarian that is much safer. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
