Answers:
Dear god no! the only human medication you could give your dog is aspirin and only in small doses for temporary inflamation relief.
You haven't said how old she is or on which leg she's limping. If its a joint problem you could try her on something called "Sasha's blend" it's basically glucosamine which is a human medication derived from shark cartilidge for the treatment of arthritis. You should also consider taking her to your vet to have the problem correctly diagnosed.
NO NO Ibuprofin at all. It will make your dog very, very sick. NO Advil or any other type of human pain releiver. Call your vet and have them suggest something to you. They may want to see her to make sure she didn't pull a muscle or worse.
I used to give my dog bute, its like ibuprofen for horses. but dont feed too much, 20lb dog 1000lb horse. you get the point.
My vet said that coated Bufferin is ok to give dogs. When my GSD was stung by a bee on the nose, after treating her, this is what they said we could give her.
You can give coated baby aspirin but I'd suggest a trip to the vet to get proper medication that will not harm the pup!
