Common Questions and Answers about Ibuprofen toxicity treatment dogs

ibuprofen

Avatar n tn As far as what they give animals post surgically, ibuprofen AND Tylenol are BOTH toxic to dogs and cats! 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.
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 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 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.....
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 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.
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 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 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.
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..
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.

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 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 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 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 have had really bad issues with walking, now requiring a can, for about a year. Diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis. It's gotten so bad that I started doing research. I have been doing 5-day energy shots daily for 6 months now - about 40mg of B6 per day (was doing emergen-c's before that). I'm thinking my walking, tingling may indeed be B6 toxicity and am going for a blood test this afternoon. I've gotten a lot of good information from this group - thank you.
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 Hi all so far 3 months into treatment i was pretty much sailing through it but not by body is hurting my back my legs just everything i ran out of Acetaminophen and want to know if anyone here knows if i can take Ibuprofen for the aches i am undetectable at week 4 no liver damage if someone could help me out with this Thanks Much love Karen
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 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.
