ibuprofen

Avatar n tn s stomach, and if the dog continues to be dosed with ibuprofen, it leads to kidney failure and, eventually, death. Most of the time, cases of ibuprofen toxicity are those in which the owners thought they were helping their dogs by dosing them to alleviate pain from injuries or arthritis, or those cases where a dog has gotten into the medication on its own and has helped itself to several pills or has eaten most of a bottle at once.
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.....
Avatar m tn less than 50 IU/ml by Amplicore method) was performed. The EVR rate was 65.9% in the group receiving ezetimibe, which was significantly higher (p=0.002) compared to 45.2% in the group not receiving ezetimibe. In multivariate analysis, concomitant administration of ezetimibe was selected as a factor contributing to EVR (odds ratio: 2.993, p=0.004). The cumulative HCV RNA negativity rate was also significantly higher in the group receiving ezetimibe (p=0.0035).
1337905 tn?1275843954 Puppy came to shelter where I volunteer. They don't provide any vet treatment just keep 5 days in condition it arrives and put up for adoption or put down. I could not stand to see this puppy sit for 5 days scratching holes in itself so I took him to the vet. Vet gave ivermectin shot and told me to dip him in paramite once a week. Then next week give him an advantage multi a day after his dip. The box says not to use it on puppies under 12 weeks, but the vet said to do it and I did.
Avatar f tn Enteric Coated aspirin is NOT good for dogs. It is not digested and can build up in their system causing toxicity.
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 n tn The safety of alpha lipoic acid in pregnant or nursing women, children, or people with kidney or liver disease is unknown. The toxic dose in cats is much lower than that in humans or dogs [52] and produces hepatocellular toxicity.
1654058 tn?1407159066 Acetaminophen has predictable hepatotoxicity and affects the liver in a dose-dependent manner. In patients with chronic liver disease who have pain symptoms, acetaminophen can be used safely in a dosage of no more than 2 g per day. That’s the equivalent of four extra-strength (500 milligrams) tablets per day or 6 regular strength (325 milligrams) a day.
Avatar n tn Australian shepherds, border collies, shelties, and any mixed breeds that have these dogs in their genotype are susceptible to ivermectin toxicity. Without going into confusing specifics, Ivermectin is able to cross the blood brain barrier in collies and collie crosses, which causes Ivermectin toxicity. Since collies almost all have white feet, vets used to have an adage they went by that said "white feet, don't treat".
Avatar n tn In dogs much higher doses (250mg/kg body weight) are needed to induce toxicity - which results in liver and kidney failure. So I've visited some medicine dosage conversion sites but I am horrible at math to begin with and this is just overwhelmingly difficult for me to figure out exactly what amount was given to him. So here is the information that I hope will enable one of you to help me work this out. The medicine bottle says this: 3.
931246 tn?1297902651 In itself, there is nothing wrong with old age. Old age brings changes, and things that don't quite 'fit'. But the most urgent and important thing is....is he feeling any suffering or pain? If not, and he's just trundling along at the end of his years, with a slightly more grumpy attitude towards the young 'uns (dogs) and the World in general....then I wouldn't say he needs to die just yet. Not unless he is ill, with no hope of successful treatment, and suffering.
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 f tn Stop the ibuprofen! No NSAIDS if you have a lower GFR. You didn't say your age but yes it is possible kidney function will return to normal with stopping the meds. Ibuprofen is hard on kidneys. Drink lots of fluids and I would see a nephrologist also.
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 s a lesson here for all of us, to be honest, and the need to keep a very careful eye on medicines and tablets around the home, ensuring they stay out of reach of our dogs and preferably in a locked cupboard.
Avatar n tn giardia is a zoonotic disease which means it is transferrable 2 humans!
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.
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 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 n tn I apologize if this is not the best suited forum for this question but it was difficult to find a more appropriate topic. I am a hypothyroid patient but my treatment levels are optimal (low TSH and FT-4 & FT-3 both at between mid-range and high-normal). With my hypothyroid treatment staying optimized, I still began to develop worsening symptoms of muscle weakness, headach and neurological types symptoms.
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.
3122657 tn?1357432602 Thank you i was told i could take Acetaminophen by my Doctor i just was not sure about Ibuprofen in that case i will not take it but since its sunday i cant call my doc well maybe i can but i dont like to bother them on a sunday i have a great doc and dont want to bug him for something so small Thanks
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.
