ibuprofen

Avatar n tn t spend the money for the bloodwork, since she would also be exhibiting one or more of the symptoms of ibuprofen toxicity listed in the previous paragraph if she had ingested a toxic dose. Please keep us posted as to how she is doing. If two or three days go by without her showing any ill effects, she'll be fine.
Avatar m tn Ibuprofen is TOXIC to dogs.....Even a small dose (For a Human headache) can build up and be too much for a dog.....Causes Bleeding Ulcers, Liver Damage, and can be fatal... It is too late to induce vomiting....Your best bet is to get the dog to your Vet! They can try to flush his system with IV's.....Hopefully, to move the chemicals out quicker....They can also give Charcoal to bind the toxins in the stomach....It probably has been too long for this, though.....
1654058 tn?1407159066 Karen, Your platelets are already low, and NSAIDs can increase the risk for bleeding; imho, acetaminophen over the ibuprofen, hands down. With low platelets from tx and a compromised liver and kidney system, any of the NSAIDs are contra-indicated for you (includes Motrin, Advil, Aleve). Tylenol is not to be taken indiscriminately either, though. With cirrhosis, no more than 2000 mg per day max (that means no more than 4 Extra Strength Tylenol in any 24 hour period).
Avatar m tn Theobromine toxicity usually causes dogs to be hyper, they pant, they develop neurological symptoms. If it was milk chocolate, it is considerably less toxic than dark chocolate, with baker's chocolate being highly toxic. If your dog had theobromine toxicity symptoms would have manifested within a couple of hours. With regard to the limp, it's not likely that this is related to the chocolate. It could, however, explain her slowing down and acting different.
Avatar f tn Lower back! "distinguish the stenosis symptoms from the B6 toxicity symptoms" Vitamin B-6 is needed for maintaining healthy nerves and muscle cells, and aids in the production of DNA and RNA. Too much synthetic pyridoxine, however, can irritate nerves and create symptoms.
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 f tn d be wary of giving your dog aspirin, and certainly NEVER Ibuprofen (Advil, or anything like that) If he needs a painkiller, get one prescribed. Later you may be able to get this same drug online at a cheaper price.
Avatar n tn I am wintering in Mexico and I unfortunately did not do any research on this before giving it to my dog as prescribed by a vet down here. I've now learned that paracetamol is toxic to dogs and I'm very upset. I only gave him one dose of what was prescribed and this was over a week ago and no visible reactions have occurred (yet) but I would like to ask someone's help in figuring out how much he was actually prescribed/given.
3177101 tn?1344362020 I have had the worst headaches everyday for 9 days now accompanied by nausea , and feel like I have a fever. I wake up hot and then cold chills, I sweat so much and I feel like there is something terribly wrong with me. I am going to the dr. tomorrow afternoon but this pain in my head is unbearable. Is anyone else having these symptoms?
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 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..
699217 tn?1323438700 I just learned on another Medhelp forum that you should never give dogs ibuprofen because they cannot digest it well. Do you think I've hurt her? I quit giving it to her last year, because I had run out. I'd say in 4 years Ive probably only given her 2 or 3 months of regular use. thank you.

Avatar n tn ibuprofen have reported death cases on people with liver diseases, same aspirin, absolutely out of question the safest and most potent pain relever is harpagoside contained in Devil's Claw: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpagophytum no toxicity at any dose it is a vegetable used regularly for centuries in several countires.
Avatar f tn I had knee surgery a year ago and have been taking approximately 400 mg of ibuprohen daily for pain. Can this be a temporary toxicity to the pain med with a return to higher level of my GFR upon cessation? Praying in Texas!
620923 tn?1452915648 Interestingly, the pop up ad near this was for vitamins for withdrawal from opiates. I couldn't tell what they are. I'm sure some suggestions could be found online or right here at medhelp. I found suggestions for lots of Vit. B & C for toxicity. I did this myself for serotonin toxicity, which took much longer than any source claimed. I'm off everything except ibuprofen (but I am trying a very small dose of mirtazapine at night, to sleep).
Avatar f tn Justin Lee, DVM, DACVECC who is the associate director of services at Pet Poison Helpline, when asked about the toxicity of some of the most prescribed medications relating to pets (and this is a direct quote): #3 – Plavix® (clopidogrel) In third place is Plavix, which is a drug that affects platelets in humans, inhibiting clot formation and reducing the risk of stroke. Rarely used in veterinary medicine, $6.1 billion was spent on this drug for humans last year.
Avatar f tn The few available resources which list common symptoms for B6 toxicity mention a feeling of pins and needles in hands and feet. There seem to be many other symptoms. Please, list the symptoms that you have.
1783746 tn?1328114601 t sound much like pregnancy symptoms. Also, hot dogs, pizza, pancakes, coffee, and sloppy joes are not very healthy foods so maybe it is the acid or lack of vitamins/minerals that are upsetting your stomach and making you cramp. It could be irritable bowel syndrome if you are having bad cramping and having to go to the bathroom a lot. Just a guess, not very scientific though.
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....
Avatar f tn I recently had one of my dogs treated for a disc problem in her neck. She was given a decreasing dose of Prednisone to take over 10 days which helped her considerably. Now, my other dog (same size and age) is showing symptoms of the same condition. I want to try the Pred on him but I don't have any left. Instead, I have a large bottle of Prednisolone. If I gave Ruby 40 mg's of PredNISONE, would I now give 40mg of PredNISOLONE? Or would the dose be different?
Avatar m tn Pheno is a brain 'relaxer' for dogs. This is why it works to control seizures in canines. If you ask for a smaller dose, you risk break-through seizures. Obviously asking for a higher dosage would not be an answer. Is your dog on any canine vitamins? Ask your vet about it. That might help the adjustment to the pheno.

Avatar n tn - right foot feels tingly and there is a strange nerve sensation on the outside of my right leg. - sometimes sciatica like pain on right side - right hand feels tingly and a bit stiff - right forearm feels as if there is a plastic wrap around it and tingling/pain in elbow - neck, shoulder, back pain on right side.
1544053 tn?1328691992 The severity of your dogs reaction will depend on your dogs size, the amount of chocolate it has eaten and whether the chocolate was milk chocolate or dark chocolate.It will also depend on your dogs individual sensitivity to chocolate. Milk chocolate is diluted and usually brings about a less severe reaction where as dark chocolate or the all natural chocolate you find in health food stores will have more potential for severe reactions or death.. Chocolate contains Theobromine and Caffiene.
