I've heard give 1/2 an aspirin, but I'd contact a vet.

For joint pain and swelling in an older hound. If you think it's arthritis.
Ask your vet about Metacam.
It's expensive but it works and you can get it in a human form(Meloxicam) (cheaper)if you can find a Dr. to write a perscription. It is a NSAID (non steroidal anti inflammatory) that is used for arthritis pain.
