Need To Give My Dog Something For Pain

Updated

My dog can not go to vet for approx 24hrs he can not walk seen this could be for different reasons all i have at the moment is a mylan 143 and i believe it is an indomethacin and can be dangerous but could i just break the capsule and add a little bit on something for him to eat to help him out till i get to the vet

@from ohio,

Even though indomethacin is just a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, I don't think it would be wise to give any amount of it to your dog without first consulting with a veterinarian. It sounds like you have an appointment already made, but maybe if you just called asking for some quick advice, they'd probably be able to offer you their professional opinion on it's overall safety for dogs and protocols relating to proper dosing/administration.

Often times medications that are made for humans can have a much more profound effect (including side effects) on animals, so in my opinion it's always better to be safe than sorry even though I know it can be heartbreaking to watch your dog sit in pain any longer than he has to.

Are there any vets here who can respond as well?
