Already Tried:
He takes 1/2 glucosamine and chondroitin on the advice of my vet daily (which I gave him this a.m.)and I gave him 1.0 ml of bendadryl about 2 hours ago, thinking it would help him sleep, but he's wimpering still!

Accepted Answer

No!!!! Tylenol is toxic to dogs. You can give him one buffered baby aspirin every 8-12 hours as needed for pain management as long as he does not have a known bleeding/clotting disorder. Hope this helps! Best of luck.
