My 10 1/2 lb. Chihuahua/Toy Fox Terrier is having tooth pain. His gums look inflamed and he is having trouble chewing some things. I can tell by the way he looks that he doesn't feel good. My Vet is closed until Thursday. Is there anything I can do or give him to make him feel better until I can get him to the Vet? He is taking Thyro-tabs .1mg twice daily, Furosemide tablets 6.25mg twice daily & Enalapril Maleate tablets 2.5mg twice daily.

Unfortunately there are no OTC pain medications you can give him. Many human ones are toxic to dogs, and can be fatal if given. I think it's best if Little Bit is in a lot of pain to take him into an ER vet now.
