Millet 4,497 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Personaly i would get it to the vet's it may need it's stomach flushing...they may not harm it straight away but they could cause liver or kidney problem's at a later date..well that is what a vet told me when one of my dog's ate a load of rimadyl..my dog had it's stomach flushed and was kept in over night for observation..

Giro 2,648 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 For peace of mind, I would at least call the vets fella.. It would be classed a overdose in humans not leathal to us but for dogs I would not know.. ATB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) It's the kidnies and liver that may suffer Giro.. ..i also got a bottle of this white liquid stuff that i had to squirt down the dog's neck every few hour's to stop any stomach bleed that could occur..

TOPPER 1,809 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 its a bit late now but some soda cystals down it neck at the time would have done the trick you d soon see little pink pills in the puke , iberprofen is deadly stuff for dogs as millet said its the liver and kidneys that suffer and with this being a pup it may not show for a few months Quote Link to post Share on other sites
