My crazy greyhound ran into a tree stump today & took the top layer of his skin off (about 1.5" wound) He walked home okay & he is now a bit sore as you would expect. I am usually the type of person who goes to the vet's with every small worry/query but (apart from it being Bank Holiday) TBH at the moment I think this is a case of first aid. I have not bathed it as it looks quite clean & think this might irritate it. I have NEVER given my dogs human medecine before because I have read that it can be poison to dogs but I hate to see him in discomfort. My friend has recently been told by her dog's breeder to give 5 or 10ml of children's neurofen for growing pains in her puppy and I would like to ask if anyone has any experience of giving children's paracetemol or aspirin to dogs. At the moment my dog is fine but interested if you have any experience or knowledge of this. I do know he would need a very small dose of anything as being a grey has no body fat.
