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 f tn No signs of infection or any abnormality with white blood cells....how is her platelet count?
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 These may be signs of phenobarbital toxicity. I don't know how long you dog has been on the medication, but you should seek veterinary attention. If the dog has been on the meds for a while, your vet can check phenobarbital blood levels. Some dogs are not able to metabolize the drug appropriately and there are other drug options available to manage seizures.
Avatar m tn 200 ounces per pound of body weight. It takes 250 pounds of white chocolate to cause signs of poisoning in a 20-pound dog, 125 pounds for a 10-pound dog. Milk chocolate: 1 ounce per pound of body weight. Approximately one pound of milk chocolate is poisonous to a 20-pound dog; one-half pound for a 10-pound dog. The average chocolate bar contains 2 to 3 ounces of milk chocolate. It would take 2-3 candy bars to poison a 10 pound dog. Semi-sweet chocolate has a similar toxic level.
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 m tn Does the recovery start in the toes, which are numb at the top? Yesterday I felt some slight pain just under the edge of the nail on top of the big toe of my right foot. Very very small!! And if B6 can causes this neuropaty, how many time does it take? I am no diabetic and was examined for many diseases causing neuropaty. But I am healty, without finding the cause of my neuropaty. Who can give me some answers? Not my doctor, nor my neurologist knew thtat B6 could cause neurpaty.
699217 tn?1323438700 It is good to know that dogs cannot take anything we as humans do for pain. My mother in law groomed and reared dogs of all types for over 40 years, gave shots, everything a vet would do except surgery (she is not a vet), and I asked her if my dog could take the ibuprofen, she didnt think it would hurt, but as I said, she is not a vet, so she just probably didn't know like me that it may hurt her.
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....
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 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.
Avatar m tn s and Hartz Mountain flea preparations have been implicated in the sickness and death of thousands of dogs and cats in recent years, to the extent that the FDA ordered them to remove many of their products from the shelves. Flea and tick preventatives are one of the areas where you should NEVER try to go to a cheaper brand, since grocery store brands such as Zodiac, Sargent's and Hartz are not safe.
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 how to differentiate anemia because of the disease (in this case CML that hasn't got CHR in 3 month) and adverse effect of therapy (gleevec) ?
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 n tn An arthritis pain medicine may not work for other kind of pain. In general, ibuprofen and acetaminophen are two most common active ingredients in most readily available over-the-counter pain relievers. Neither of them is completely safe. From what I learned, if you have little or no liver damage, you can use either ibuprofen or acetaminophen. But if your liver damage is more advanced, acetaminophen is safer AS LONG AS YOU DON'T OVERDOSE IT OR MIX IT WITH ALCOHOL.
Avatar m tn I have taken care of TWO patients in the past; one who had tylenol toxicity and the other one had ibuprofen toxicity. Both patients were going into liver failure in which was caught in time. Both thought is was ok to take more than the RECOMMENDED amount of medication. Please be careful.
Avatar f tn I just found out that I have a GFR score of 70and protein in urine but normal creatinine score of .85. 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!
222267 tn?1253302210 I started a thread a while back on weight gain (which I needed to do but as a long term effect of my disability) in one of the forums (weight loss is a more typical concern but its in that forum) and people gave helpful specific suggestions. That might be helpful to you. If you are physically unable to keep food down or its something like that then speak to a doctor. This is beyond a set back but you made it through and you will recover and deserve everyone's support.
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 in looking at the package insert for Comfortis, there is no mention of weakness as a side effect of the drug in either the clinical studies on normal dogs, or the toxicity studies on laboratory dogs (the most common side effect was stomach upset in about 5-10%).

1508316 tn?1290065376 If your female dog is bleeding from her vulva, it is likely she is still in heat and not pregnant. Dogs in heat may show signs of licking to clean themselves and occasionally excess drinking, etc occurs as well. Checking with your vet would help to determined this accurately so you are 100% sure about whether or not your dog is or is not pregnant.
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.
