My dog was playing with another dog in the yard. When she came inside she was limping and won't put weight on her left leg. I plan to take her to the vet but is there anything I can give her if she's in pain? Is there any dosage of Tylenol or anything? Or should I just make her stay off of it until we go to the vet?

No, do NOT give her any human pain medications. Many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. Just rest her for now. No running, jumping, or playing. Take her out to potty on a leash, and bring her right back in when she's done.
