Okay so my 2.5 year old cocker Spaniel got into a bottle of Tylenol... I don't know how much she ate if anything at all, most of them seemed to be licked because of the raspberry (easy to swallow) coating on it.
I was searching for other answers online and found this for someone who's 9 month old Cocker ate an Advil.
Your dog will be OK.. the only reason it would be an issue is if he had a conflicting medical condition or allergy to Advil.
Here is the deal on the Human Pain meds and dogs
Aspirin... can be used but not usually the best choice as it can cause ulcers much quicker in a dog than human
Advil ( ibuprofen) is the same... 1-2 doses can cause an ulcer in a dog where as in a human it would take much more
Tylenol.. Again can be used but has been though to contribute to liver failure or damage in dogs.. also suspect in human liver issues as well.. it is metabolized or cleared out of our bodies in the liver as well.
SO I would guess your pooch will be just fine.. however
Should you see any vomiting with ot without blood in it or bloody stool or diareah that appear Tar like and black... you should take him to be checked...
Just feed him as usual and watch for a couple of days for the above symptoms...
Darn dogs will eat anything eh!? Worse than a kid cause they don't grow up! :0)
If a dog eats an advil will it hurt them? - Yahoo! Answers (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061021223705AAt155l)
Should we take her to the vet? Will she be okay?
Thanks
