My dog ate ibuprofen. What should I do if I can't get to a vet?

Oh no, that's not good! Ibuprofen is toxic to dogs, and the best thing for you to do is take Paxx into the vet immediately. The vet can start decontamination procedures to prevent ibuprofen toxicity from occurring. Please take Paxx into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him now.

Is there an ER vet clinic in your area? If there is, take him into it now. Otherwise, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Please take him into a vet now. Best of luck.

Hello. Ingesting ibuprofen over 25 mg/kg can cause significant gastrointestinal signs. Sable ingested the equivalent of 33mg/kg, so she could have some issues. See hoe she is in the morning, & try to have her seen. She may just be placed on a stomach protectant for a few days just to make sure she stays well. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Since you managed to go take her to a vet right away and he she had the proper treatment there is a good chance that she will be ok. You will find out next week when you take her to your own vet for some blood tests checking her kidneys and liver. If those are normal then she did not get damaged by the Ibuprofen.

Oh no, Max! Ingestion of ibuprofen (Motrin) is quite toxic to dogs and can cause GI ulceration, severe liver damage, and acute renal (kidney) failure. Contact the ASPCA animal poison control center at (888) 426-4435 and they will help you determine the potential severity of Max's ingestion based upon the maximum amount of ibuprofen he may have ingested for his current body weight. From there, I expect that he will need to go to an ER vet for blood work and likely fluid therapy and monitoring. Depending on how recently he ingested the ibuprofen, they may also be able to induce vomiting. Good luck!

Motrin can lead to toxicity in dogs so I recommend you contact the pet poison helpline at the link below for further direction, and they can let you know if Lee needs to be seen by a vet or not for further treatment. Have the container with you so you can go over ingredients/dosage together. https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/blog/top-6-not/ Also let them know what you used to induce vomiting, as that in itself can be dangerous depending on what is used, how much is used, and the potential for aspiration pneumonia. Good luck, and I hope Lee is okay!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am sorry to hear that Jellybean has ingested 600 mg of ibuprofen. That is considered to be an overdose for a 10 pound dog. The most common signs of ibuprofen toxicity at this dose include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased energy, and loss of appetite. Stomach ulcers can occur, causing abdominal pain and blood in the stool. Treatment can involve several different options. Depending on how long ago Jellybean ingested the ibuprofen, your veterinarian may recommend inducing him to vomit. This will not be effective though if the ingestion was too long ago. The administration of activated charcoal can decrease the amount of of ibuprofen absorbed into the blood stream. Most dogs are also hospitalized for fluids to help protect the kidneys from damage as well. I recommend that Jellybean is examined by his veterinarian as soon as possible. Definitely call your veterinarian as well to discuss his particular situation. Overall, overdose and toxicity situations are best treated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. The sooner treatment begins, usually the better the outcome. Ask your veterinarian if he/she has a payment plan available or accepts Care Credit. I hope Jellybean does well!
