I'm so sorry to hear about your dog’s distressing situation! It's certainly concerning when our furry friends get into things they shouldn’t. Ibuprofen is unfortunately toxic to dogs, and consuming a significant amount can lead to serious health issues such as stomach ulcers, kidney damage, or even neurological problems.
You've done the right thing by getting your dog to the hospital promptly. Rapid intervention is crucial in these cases to minimize potential damage. Treatment may involve inducing vomiting, administering activated charcoal, and running IV fluids to protect the kidneys and flush the system.
At home, make sure your pup has a safe, quiet place to rest once they're back from the hospital. Monitor for signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, lethargy, or difficulty breathing, as these could indicate ongoing issues that need medical attention.
Please keep all medications securely out of reach in the future to prevent curious pups from finding them. If you notice any concerning symptoms once your dog is home or if you have further questions about their recovery, don't hesitate to book a video consult through Dial A Vet. We're here to support you and your pet every step of the way.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
