What can you give a 110lb lab that hurt his front leg jumping out of a car? He isn't whining, swollen or sensitive when touched. However, he is limping pretty bad. It is his front right leg.

Aspirin can be an effective pain reliever for minor sprains/strains in animals. It can also be used for pain control of chronic arthritic conditions. The pet retailers carry a line of pet aspirin products with dosing guides on the bottle.
