I don't know what to do, dog ingested ibuprofen.

Oh dear, I understand how alarming this can be. Ibuprofen is toxic to dogs and can lead to serious health issues, so it's important to act quickly. When ingested, it can cause stomach ulcers, kidney damage, or even more severe complications. The level of toxicity depends on your dog’s size, the amount ingested, and how long ago they consumed it.



First things first, try to prevent any further ingestion. Make sure the bottle or any remaining pills are secured out of your dog’s reach, and don't attempt to induce vomiting unless a vet has advised you to do so—it can sometimes cause more harm.



Watch for symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, black or tarry stools, loss of appetite, increased thirst, or lethargy. These could signal more serious issues such as gastrointestinal bleeding or kidney failure. If your dog displays any of these signs, it’s critical to seek emergency veterinary care immediately.



While at home, you can keep your dog comfortable and hydrated, but reach out to a vet as soon as possible. This situation is best handled with professional guidance to ensure your furry friend's safety.
