Dog just are 75mg of carprofen

Thanks for reaching out! If your dog just ate 75mg of carprofen, it's important to determine if this is their prescribed dose or if it's accidental. Carprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used to relieve pain and inflammation in dogs, but it must be given in the correct dosage to avoid complications.



Potential causes for concern include gastrointestinal upset, kidney or liver issues, and, in severe cases, ulcers or bleeding in the stomach. If your dog isn't prescribed carprofen or accidentally took more than their recommended dose, close monitoring is essential.



At home, watch for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or a change in drinking and urination habits. If you notice these symptoms or if your dog becomes unusually lethargic or seems in pain, it may indicate a more serious problem that needs urgent veterinary attention.



In the meantime, keep them calm and hydrated, but refrain from giving more medication unless directed by a vet. Ensuring they rest and have access to a comfortable space is beneficial.



If you're uncertain about the severity of this situation or notice any concerning signs, I recommend scheduling a video consult with Dial A Vet. We'll be able to assess your pet's condition and advise on further steps. Stay calm—help is just a click away!
