Can i give my dog human paracetemol to ease his leg pain?

I think you can but I would check with a vet first. It is safe to give animals certain medications meant for humans. My Bull terrier has a fungal infection on her paws which she has had since birth and will always have. The human version of the medication she is on is half the price of the animal version so the vet gave us a prescription for us to get it from the pharmacy as it was costing 100 pounds a month!

Ask a Vet. Whatever you do, do NOT give Ibuprofen. It can kill a dog according to my vet.

definitely go to a vet to get a second opinion, but we were told by our vet and by breeders for my dog to take half an aspirin once she had had her puppies to stop her from panting etc due to shock. This obviously has nothing to do with your poor dog’s leg but it shows that some pills are ok for dogs to take. Do ask your vet before you do anything though, you don’t want his leg to get any worse!
