My dog has arthritis and was prescribed Vetprofen. I gave her one pill last night about 7pm for the first time. She was given a second pill this morning. She is only supposed to take one pill every 24 hours. She does not have any symptoms, but I
I would not worry at this point but I suggest you not give her any more Vetprofen until 24 hours after the last dose. If you have some Pepcid (famotidine) 10mg on-hand you can give her one of those daily for the next few days to protect her stomach. If you notice any vomiting or not eating get her to your vet ASAP. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

i gave my dog a 100mg tab of vetprofen. My vet did some dental work and told me to give him half a tab. Is this a major problem????????
A one time dose of 100 Mg for a 68# dog is not likely to cause any problems. However, I would recommend skipping the next dose. The average dose is about 1 mg per pound every 12 hours, but some veterinarians will give a double dose every 24 hours. So, basically 100 Mg is within an appropriate 24 hour dose for him. I hope this helps! Thanks for using Pet Coach.

Capi is an 8 year old rot mix with hip dsyplexia in his right hip. Has been vomiting once a day for two days straight. Thinking it might be a side affect of the vet profen medicine he is on. Have a vet appointment next week. Not sure if he is a good
I'm sorry to hear that Capi is having problem with his hip. Unfortunately, vomiting is one of the potential side effects of Vetprofen. I am attaching a link to a handout about this drug below. https://www.vin.com/apputil/project/defaultadv1.aspx?pId=19239&SAId=1&id=4951499 I generally recommend to stop the medication and call your veterinarian anytime there is any vomiting that might be due to the drug. There are other drugs that you can consider for pain relief, so I would talk to your veterinarian to try to find a medication that works well for Capi. I am attaching more information with additional options below. https://www.vin.com/apputil/project/defaultadv1.aspx?pId=19239&SAId=1&id=4951467 Good luck! I hope that was helpful.

Hi, I accidentally gave my 5 lb Yorkie his vetprofen 25 mg too early. I gave it to him tonight instead of tomorrow morning. We left the vet at 5:30pm. I am so worried. Will he be ok??
25mg of Vetprofen is a large dose for such a small dog. Recommended dosing is usually 12.5mg for a dog his size. I do not know how much medication he has already received at your vet but signs of toxicity usually occur with >20mg/kg doses. Basil could develop gastrointestinal signs including vomiting, GI bleeding, and diarrhea. He should be watched closely and he should not receive another dose for 24 hours or longer if signs of illness occur.

I gave my dog a Previcox pill (half of 227 mg) a couple nights ago for sudden pain he was having after going to the park (he had FHO surgery couple months ago) He was still in pain so today the vet prescribed him Vetprofen 100mg to take for 15 days.
Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco. Great question! No, I would not be worried about this scenario. Typically we don't like to give two different NSAIDs very close together but that is mostly when a dog has been on one long-term and we want to switch to another. Has only having one dose of previcox a few days is not really concerning. The main reason we worry is the potential for gastric ulceration. If you want to be cautious you could give him some omeprazole for a week but it would be best to contact your vet before adding in any other medications. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
