My dog had a torn cruica ligament but had an operation about a year ago and had been much better however today she has been limping and will now not put any weight on that leg, can we give her anything to help with the pain and what would you suggest doing now?

Poor Lexi! I'm sorry to hear that she's limping. Unfortunately, there are no over-the-counter pain medications that are safe for use in dogs, so there isn't anything you can give her at home today. I would recommend keeping her as calm and quiet as possible to avoid aggravating her injury further, and taking her to the vet tomorrow for an exam to find out what's going on.
