My dog accidentally ate Azo Standard. Is it dangerous for her?

An immediate check up at your local veterinarian is required as this drug could cause toxic side effects. The signs you are describing are compatible with urinary tract infection/inflammation and Piper should be investigated and treated for it, starting from urine analysis and possibly an ultrasound of the bladder. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

AZO tablets are not recommended for dogs and cats, although a single standard dose would probably not be toxic. It’s possible that Zephyr is vomiting secondary to what is now a kidney infection, or that his straining is caused by prostate disease or bladder stones. I would recommend seeing your veterinarian. They can check Zephyr’s prostate and check a urine sample.

One pill shouldn't alter the results, so that will be fine. AZP should not be given to dogs, it's not a medication that can be safely used in this species. The best way to prevent infections is to make sure Amelia drinks lots of water, and you take her out to urinate frequently. The longer she holds her bladder, the more chance bacteria has to build up in the bladder leading to infections.

Azo tablets have been show to potentially cause methemoglobulinemia in dogs and cats and should not be given. It also can cause a dry eye condition in dogs. I would recommend not giving this to Eve. There are pet formulated cranberry tablets that you can purchase from your veterinarian (if available) or through your local pet store.

This is a rather big overdose, but this drug is relatively safe to overdose. Signs of an overdose can be vomiting and muscle tremors. If you don't see any of these after eight hours, then she will be fine. If you do see vomiting and tremors, then it's best to take her to the vet for treatment and monitoring. It's most likely that she will be OK. Just check on her every so often and make sure she has plenty of water available. I hope that helps and Abby gets better soon.

It looks like either of these medications could be toxic depending on the dose and that medical treatment may be required. I can’t find a published toxic dose, so I’d recommend contacting the Pet Poison Helpline for more information. www.petpoisonhelpline.com

Most cases of toxicosis occur in dogs that are repeatedly given Naproxen. I did find in an article online (the link is below if you want to read the entire article) that "The APCC data suggest that a one-time dose of 7 mg/kg or greater can cause clinical signs of GI irritation and ulceration (vomiting, diarrhea, melena, anorexia), whereas azotemia (elevation of kidney levels) is possible at doses ranging from 13 to 15 mg/kg." Based on your dogs weight of 44 pounds, if he ate one 250 mg tablet then the dose would have been 12.5 mg/kg. The best thing would be to have your vet check kidney values 24-48 hours after the ingestion to make sure all values are normal.
