Common Questions and Answers about Ibuprofen for dogs pain

ibuprofen

Avatar f tn NO! Dogs can't metabolize ibuprofen (advil). You can give him tylenol for a short time, but he will be much better off with an anti-inflammatory from your vet. I had two dogs that ended up with severe arthritis. The first took rimadyl daily for 5 of his 13.5 years due to hip displaysia. The last couple of years we switched to deramaxx when the symptoms got more severe. BIG difference with the deramaxx, but it's more expensive.
Avatar m tn So far in my experience, Deramax has been the best non-steroidal anti-inflammatory for pain in dogs - particularly for arthritis pain. Rimadyl is a close second and fairly cheap since it's been on the market for years. What kind of pain is your dog experiencing?
Avatar n tn I guess Vicoprofen is Ibuprofen? If so, NO! Don't give your dog Ibuprofen. It is toxic for dogs. Aspirin is safer, but only for very short periods, as it can have side effects. You need to get a veterinary pain killer, and if you are unsure as to the cause of your dog's pain, get that checked out so your dog can get the most suitable treatment for whatever's wrong.
Avatar m tn Don't use Ibuprofen. Is it possible to get some aspirin? That's safer for dogs. Ibuprofen is toxic. I hope I haven't caught your question too late....
699217 tn?1323438700 I will take her to the vet to check though, because Im just not sure if I gave her too much or not. It is good to know that dogs cannot take anything we as humans do for pain.
Avatar m tn Ibuprofen is TOXIC to dogs....It sounds as if she is still in good shape, but needs a prescription for pain meds. from your Vet.....Your Vet will have a selection of meds to treat your girl's, what I beleive to be, Arthrititis....They work wonders.... The yellow bile is stomach acid and the Ibuprofen could possibly be damaging her stomach lining.....Usually, dogs vomit bile when they've gone too long without food.....She needs to be fed 2 meals a day and a snack before bedtime.....
Avatar n tn Hi tmax.....You don't say how old she is, but more than likely, this is old age Arthritis as the weather becomes cooler.....Just the same for humans..... Yes, a Vet visit is in order as they can prescribe the correct anti-inflammatories.....DO NOT to attempt to treat this w/OTC products......Ibuprofen is TOXIC to dogs & one dose of Aspirin can cause a Gastric bleed.....It is not worth the risk! Prescribed meds. for Arthritis from your Vet will help her feel much better for many years..
Avatar m tn Can Kidney pain be a side effect of taking Ibuprofen? I was taking ibuprofen last week consecutively for 3 days (400mg t.i.d) after laser eye surgery. A day or so after starting it I experienced mild pain/discomfort in my left flank that came in waves. When I stopped taking the ibuprofen the flank pain also stopped. The next day I took one more dose - the flank pain started again within an hour, but was gone the next day.
Avatar n tn Dogs are more tolerant of tylenol than cats, it would take about 7 tylenol to cause toxicity in a medium-large dog, but even ONE Tylenol can be fatal for a cat! Regular aspirin is safe for dogs at the appropriate dosage for the size of the dog, and it should be given every 12 hours, not every four hours like for a person. It is also preferrable to use buffered aspirin or Ascriptin, the aspirin that is coated with Maalox. I can completely understand your anger at that stupid woman!
3122657 tn?1357432602 Ibuprofen is bad for our livers. Try getting a massage if you can. Bromelian, a natural supplement made from pineapples helps reduce swelling but it takes time to work. Also, make sure you're drinking lots of water, and getting some exercise. Try some yoga too. Pot brownies worked the best for my back pain.
Avatar f tn Bad call for me but I was in pain and it was only once and everything turned out fine with baby so I was lucky.
1386405 tn?1291587800 nothing will be wrong with your baby i was taking it every day for 12 days i was taking nearly 1 pack every day because of the pain i know i wasnt meant to but the pain was so unbareable i just kept taking them. but try and not stress your baby will be fine.
Avatar n tn Tylenol is the only safe pain medicine u can take while pregnant...I'm not totally for sure what would happen with the ibuprofin, but I wouldn't chance it!! That seems like a lot to take at one time!!?? I was given 800 mg to take after my c-sections!! You must really be suffering with some serious pain hun..talk with ur doc on what is safe for you to take!!
Avatar m tn whenever i take even one 550mg (naproxen) ibuprofen and then drink, my stomach gets tender and bloated and i feel bad. i usually take a maalox or something like that, yet i never throw up from it so i don't know if that's applicable for you. i think it is due to the ibuprofen, but if you're not used to eating spicy foods then it could have disagreed with you, not necessarily meaning food poisoning. you should never drink and take NSAIDs at the same time.
7923170 tn?1412999504 21 years old. Pregnant with second baby currently 11 weeks. Im currently taking Lovenox shots n my prenatal the passed 2 weeks have had headaches... Is it OK to take ibuprofen if I don't have tylenol available at the time.
Avatar f tn Is 3-6 200mg Ibuprofen a day for a 3-6 days a week bad for you over a long period of time?
Avatar n tn I've been having very bad tooth aches. I used to take ibuprofen & it stop the pain almost immediately. I'm 7 weeks. Can I take 1?
7758733 tn?1402589420 Suffered the whole way through my pregnancy with headaches actually been hospitalised they got that bad but they really don't recommend Ibuprofen Hun :( just gotta power trough or phone in sick xxx
Avatar f tn Advil, which contains ibuprofen is poisonous to dogs. Please seek medical attention ASAP.
Avatar f tn Is it ok to take? Is currently all I have and my head is hurting soooo bad. I usually suffer through any aches or pain because I hate to take meds even when I'm not pregnant. But this head ache is so brutal its making me nauseous.
Avatar m tn In general, NSAIDS are NOT safe for dogs. Ibuprofen and acetopminophen will kill dogs and cats. Acetisalicylic aciid (regular plain aspirin) IS safe for dogs in the correct dose. Check with your vet to see what the appropriate dose would be for your dog based on his breed, age and general condition.
Avatar f tn Is it true you shouldn't take ibuprofen it can harm the baby? I just seen this today while doing research as to this is my first. i have been taking it before I found out I was thinking my period was coming and I've always had bad cramps so I know to start taking it before my period comes to help with the pain. Should I be worried that I've harmed the baby from taking it? I'm 5 weeks BTW.
Avatar f tn Dogs can tolerate aspirin well, but I'd give him the low-dose aspirin or children's aspirin, 82mg vs 325mg of the full-strength. Also, get aspirin that is enteric coated, this will make it easier on the dog's stomach. There is a special aspirin called Ascriptin that is coated with Maalox. I don't know if it comes in the low-dose variety or not, but this would be ideal if it does. If not, just look for low-dose, enteric coated aspirin.
480331 tn?1310403529 Aspirin in dogs is okay. Ibuprophen is NOT. However, in this case I would not suggest any aspirin until you get an exam.
Avatar n tn Hi kimmyrie68, As your comment is on the pain management forum, you're obviously taking this medication to deal with some form of pain in your body. What are you taking the pain for ? You said you took an 800 ibuprofen this morning. Isn't Advil another name for ibuprofen ? Check the ibuprofen box as to the daily amount recommended. I take Advil sometimes for a headache. I take 2 200 miligrams of Advil. 800 miligrams of ibuprofen sounds like a lot. What is a lortab by the way ?
