Do not give any people medications to your dog without consulting a veterinarian. Many things we think of as harmless can seriously damage your dog's organs. Never,ever give Tylenol (acetominophen), Motrin/Advil (ibuprofen) Aleve (naproxen) to your dog. Never share your prescription medications with your dog. A good rule of thumb is to never,ever give any human medication to your dog until you have at least called a vet and gotten the ok. Call before-not after-you give human meds to a dog.
A pet owner should never self diagnose their pet and can always phone their vet or take the pet in to get a proper diagnosis. You can always have the vet tell you what the medication is and get it from your local pharmacy. Just tell them the weight of your dog, but the vet has to let you know what meds the pet needs first.
AnswerFirst of all you should contact your vet before giving you animal any medication. I have used by my vets advice is PeptoBismol when my dog had diarhea and vomiting. I also have given my dog baby aspirin on advice of my vet. Nothing else has ever been suggested or advised.Yes. When a vet prescribes a medication, such as an antibiotic, the cost is often much cheaper than you would pay for the same medication prescribed for yourself.
Dogs are able to take aspirin but call your vet as to the doseage allowed for the weight of your pet. Also, to calm your overactive dog you can give him a benedryl - I have done this per my Vet when my husky would become overly excited. Do not give cats aspirin - it can be lethal and always remember to call your vet in advance!
It depends on what medicines. One of my dogs has a flea allergy where his skin is irritated even after the fleas are gone, and it gets worse during the winter so he'll get a Benadryl every other day. My grandmother has a fifteen year old cat who has Arthritis and recently had a stroke, and the Vet told her to give him a quarter of a baby Aspirin. So, yes. You can give human medicines to animals, but please ask your Vet first.
There are some human medications that can be given to a dog but it is best to call a vet to determin what meds are needed for your pet. It is dangerous to give medications meant for humans to dogs without knowing exactly what the problem is for the dog in question. Call or visit your vet for the best advice.
You can give any medication prescribed for your dog by your veterinarian. You should never give your dog any medication that was not prescribed by your vet.
Dogs can take valium, and many other human medications such as Amoxicillin, but remember the dosage is based on weight.
No. They will not have the same effect.
None of them really.
No, you should never give human medications to an animal. Animals react differently to medications than humans and this could kill your dog.
At home, nothing - dogs do not react to medications like humans do, and there are no safe human pain medications for dogs to have. You should make an appointment with your veterinarian to have your dog's teeth examined and the veterinarian will determine how to relieve your dog's pain.
No; dogs are not small humans and do not react to human medications well. Over the counter pain medications for humans, like Tylenol, are actually toxic to dogs and can kill them even in small doses. If you suspect that your dog has arthritis (joint pain), you should take your dog to your veterinarian and he/she can prescribe a pain medication that is safe for your dog to take. You can also make it easier for your older dog to handle cold weather by providing warm blankets for him/her to lay on or providing heat to his/her resting place through the cold weather. Remember that dogs with long hair coats (German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, etc.) will tolerate the cold much better than humans while short-coated breeds (like Chihuahuas, Boston Terriers and Boxers) will be more like humans in their reaction to cold weather.
NO! Dogs are not little humans and do not respond to human medications like people do. Giving a dog human over-the-counter pain medications could kill the dog; I have seen this happen before. If you dog is in pain, you should ask your veterinarian what you can do for him/her. There are several medications available that are specifically designed for dogs, although they can be expensive. Also, your veterinarian should do a complete physical exam, possibly with bloodwork or other lab tests, to determine what is causing the pain.
It is not a good idea to give a dog any medication that is for humans. Dogs are genetically different and are not prescribed the same medications as a person would be. Benzonatate is not safe to give to a dog.
You can give your dog certain over the counter cough medications for humans that contain dextromethorphan. This does include Triaminic cough medication.
This Better be a joke. Do not take them!
Never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a dog - not a little person with four feet.
Never give a dog a medicine meant for a human unless a veterinarian prescribes it. The dosage for a dog would be much lower than that for a human, and a human dose could kill a dog. Also some medicines for humans cannot be used for a dog.
you have to take him DEFINETLY to the vet right when you see this
