Delidog......I always heard that you should NEVER, NEVER give Tylenol to a dog!!!! The Tylenol contains acetominiphen which is deadly to our dogs. Did she have any adverse reaction to it? Buffered aspirin is the preferred pain reliever for them, but I would only do that with the vet's permission.

As for the vet needed to anesthetize her for the xray, I think that is pretty standard procedure. Everyone I know of who has had to have their dog's front or back legs, or hips xrayed, has said that they do it while they are asleep. I think there might be a lot of wasted film and time if the animal is alert and wiggling.

Good luck. Hope your baby will be better soon.
