My dog broke her nail and the vet cut it down to the base this morning and wrapped it up to stop the bleeding. She seems to be in pain. What can I give her?

Unfortunately there are no pain relievers you can give Khaleesi that are OTC. Many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. If she's in a lot of pain, I'd take her into a vet now to get pain medication, even if it's an ER vet.
