Ask a vet! LOL
I am not sure but don't give your dog an aspirin just to be safe.
It is not safe to give your dog a higher dose of Heartgard without consulting a veterinarian first. Overdosing can be harmful to your dog's health.
For a 20-pound dog, the general guideline for aspirin dosage is approximately 5 to 10 mg per pound of body weight every 12 hours. This means a 20-pound dog could receive between 100 mg and 200 mg of aspirin per dose. However, it is crucial to consult a veterinarian before administering aspirin, as they can provide the appropriate dosage and ensure it is safe for your dog's specific health conditions. Always monitor your dog for any adverse reactions when giving medication.
If you need to give your dog any type home remedy pain med, it's better to give them, a LOW DOSE ASPIRIN such as BABY ASPIRIN. NOT MOTRIN.
It is not safe to give your dog a lower dose of Heartgard without consulting a veterinarian first. The recommended dosage is based on your dog's weight and giving a lower dose could potentially be harmful to your pet.
The unsafe dose of baby aspirin for Pomeranians can vary, but generally, doses above 5-10 mg per kilogram of body weight can be harmful. Baby aspirin typically contains 81 mg, so for a small Pomeranian, even half a tablet could exceed the safe limit. It's crucial to consult a veterinarian before administering any medication to ensure the safety and proper dosage for your dog.
I gave my arthritic dog an aspirin in the morning with his first meal (it's important that the dog eats before taking the aspirin). You can give aspirin twice daily, every 12 hours, but if it seems that he needs it more than once a day, you may want to seek a vet's help as something more complicated could be happening than a few baby aspirin can fix. Long term use of aspirin isn't good for dogs and you may want to investigate the use of supplements like glucosamine and chondroitin to help alleviate your dog's joint pain.
I will presume from the question that your dog ate Rimadyl, Novox or a similar prescribed mild pain medication that came from your veterinarian. In this case, call your veterinarian for advice, particularly if he ate more than a single dose. However, if your dog ate aspirin that you bought from your local grocery or department store, take your dog in immediately for an examination. Human aspirin is very toxic to dogs and your dog may develop a fatal stomach ulcer.
No. You should not use acetaminophen or ibuprofen on a dog. Aspirin is safe for dogs. You should ask your veterinarian for the correct dosage.
No Never give Advil to a dog or cat. It is dangerous. You need to check with your Veterinarian as to why you wish to give Advil to your pet that is already taking pheno. Buffered aspirin is the only safe thing to give to your pet but again you need to check with your Vet before giving any aspirin.
A fifty pound dog should be okay with one regular asprin. those are 325 mg. one in the morning and one at night. With food. If he won't eat then get the coated ones because it's easier on the stomach. I got this from a vet website http://www.vetinfo.com/daspirin.html Aspirin has the same problems in dogs that it has in people. It can cause gastrointestinal upsets and ulcers if the GI signs are ignored. It can cause renal failure if overdosed. It causes an increase in clotting time. This usually isn't a serious side effect but it does occur. Despite these shortcomings it has a lot of beneficial effects and it is inexpensive. The currently recommended dosage of aspirin varies a little from publication to publication but it is between 5 and 15mg/lb every 12 hours. Since there is a range I usually pick the middle of it and go for about 10mg/lb every 12 hours. This works well and seems to be pretty safe. That works out to an aspirin tablet per 32 pounds of body weight twice a day. I have to admit that I rarely advise giving more than 2 aspirin twice a day despite the fact that some big dogs could obviously take more based on the per pound calculation.
