Never give Tylenol or Advil(or anything else containing ibuprofen) to your pets, they're toxic to most domestic animals. You can use aspirin-dosage is about 10 mg per pound every 12 hrs, but don't give it very longer then a week without consulting your vet, as aspirin can cause stomach and kidney problems. I would start with a lower dose and see if it works, and go up slightly, but do not exceed the 10 mgs per pound.
