You've given your dog 100mg of ibuprofen, which is potentially harmful. It's important to act quickly to prevent serious health issues.
- Watch for symptoms like vomiting or lethargy.
- Contact your vet immediately for advice.
- Monitor your dog's condition closely.
While ibuprofen can offer humans relief from pain and inflammation, it is not safe for dogs in any dosage. Dogs metabolize medications differently, and even a small amount can lead to serious health problems such as stomach ulcers, kidney failure, or even worse. If you notice any symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or unusual behavior, please reach out to your veterinarian right away. Their guidance is crucial for the well-being of your furry friend.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
