no. its very toxic to dogs.
ibuprofen can be toxic if not dosed properly. It also should not be used in place of vet evaluation.
The usual dose in dogs is 2.5 to 4 mg per pound (5 to 8 mg/kg) every 12 hours.
You can also give your dog aspirin. (enteric coated should not be used because it will not be digested.
A typical aspirin dose is 5 to 10 mg per pound (10 to 20 mg/kg) twice daily for dogs, and 5 mg per pound (10 mg/kg) once every other day for cats.
Dosage info from PetPlace
no do not give Tylenol or ibprofen to dogs
Yes it will hurt your dog.A quick look on the internet will tell you this.I got this from Dogtopics.com http://www.dogtopics.com/115/ibuprofen-are-you-aware-how-toxic-it-is/
Many people administer Ibuprofen for pain relief thinking it's safe. Unfortunately it's not; small doses given over a short period of time have proved fatal.
Based on the number of dogs treated, The ASPCA Poison Control Center rates Ibuprofen the number one reason for dog poisoning.
The poisoning arises from either the dog having consumed a large number of tablets after chewing through a packet or bottle of Ibuprofen or the dog being intentionally given the drug by a well meaning owner as a pain killer.
From the ASPCA database:
25-125mg per kg of body weight - symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, stomach ulcers;
more than 175mg per kg of body weight - the above symptoms plus blood in the stools, acute kidney failure;
more than 400mg per kg of body weight - the above symptoms plus seizures, coma, disorientation;
more than 600mg per kg of body weight - death.
The ASPCA has reported a case where 3mg per kg of body weight given every other day for six weeks proved fatal.
Ibuprofen sold over the counter contains anywhere from 50mg to 200mg per tablet; each prescription tablet may contain 800mg of Ibuprofen. Given a dog's propensity to eat everything in front of their noses, a packet of Ibuprofen tablets left within their reach can do a lot of damage.
Symptoms can take anywhere from 12 hours to several days to show. However, if you suspect your dog has ingested Ibuprofen take him to the vet immediately. Any tablets consumed must be flushed out of your dog's system as quickly as possible to improve his chances of a full recovery. Dog Asprin sold at pet stores is a safer option although before giving any medication you need to call your vet first not ask strangers online.
No you could potentially harm or even kill your dog, Children's Benedryl is safe for them But Always ask your local veterinarian before giving your dog anything other than what he prescribes the dog.
Unfortunately, possibly - it depends upon how big your dog is, if there was anything in the dog's stomach and exactly how much was given. Also, if your dog was on a pain medication like Rimadyl, that can effect the outcome as well. Keep a very close eye on your dog and at the first signs of vomiting or illness head to the veterinarian - ibuprofen can cause fatal stomach ulcers as well as liver damage.
It is not a good idea to give ibuprofen to your dog without consulting with a vet first. Ibuprofen can be toxic for dogs and has a relatively narrow margin of safety, meaning that it is safe for dogs only within a very narrow dosage range.
Yes beause dogs are more sensitive than we are so if you give them even 1/2 they will die ~sorry~
about 5 I guess it sort of depends on what kind of dog!
No, it is not. Baby aspirin is occasionally ok to give, but never give any type of medication without first checking with a vet.
yes if it has an overdose
Do not give Ibuprofen to a dog; it is not safe to use in dogs.
NO! You should never give a dog ibuprofen.
In France we have got an expression for what it would give : un mal de chien ( a dog pain )
No, you should never give an ibuprofen to any type of poultry. Poultry can be given aspirin for some pain relief.
I don't think that much people know that. If you want somebody to tell you, you should get a local vet to answer that. And the question that would BEST to ask for that is, " How much ibuprofen should you give a lamb if they can have it?".
The active ingredient in Motrin is Ibuprofen, and Ibuprofen can be toxic to cats. It is best to take your kitty to the vet if it is in pain, so the matter can be properly treated and the vet can give your cat safe pain medication.
Nothing - if you try to give your dog human medication for pain you may very well end up killing him. If you think your dog is in pain and could use some pain medication, you should take him to the vet for an examination.Important notice:Most painkillers for humans contain substances that will cause the livers and kidneys of dogs and cats to fail, and ultimately a painful death. Do not give your pet ibuprofen, paracetamol, or any other common painkiller for humans!
yes to relive the pain
no. don't give your dog pain medicine for people. only give what your vet recommends.
can i give dilauded to my dog for pain
No , you should not give asprin to your dog. Aspirin is sometimes used by vets to treat mild to moderate pain caused by osteoarthritis or musculoskeletal inflammation, it should never be administered by dog owners
no, you cannot give ibuprofen to your dog unless your veterinarian specifically instructs you to do so. This includes brand names of ibuprofen, such as Advil, Motrin, and Midol. This drug is highly toxic to dogs and can easily cause poisoning. Veterinarians rarely recommend it due to the high potential for disastrous side effects or even death.
