Lameness Due to
Soft Tissue Injury

If your dog has a mild to moderate lameness due to soft tissue injury, enforced rest is the best treatment, and it should result in rapid improvement in 2-7 days.

 Ice packs and aspirin can be used to relieve inflammation and discomfort.

You can give one-quarter of a 325-milligram tablet of aspirin for every ten pounds once or twice a day, best taken on a full stomach. Never give acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil).
