I never dreamed I would be posting about doggie drugs, but here goes (lol). Last week I took my dog to the vet-he had pulled back muscles/back strain;the vet told me to NEVER give a dog anything containing acetaminaphin, ibuprofen, etc.. Something about their liver not being able to handle it. Since I had given him childrens Tylenol for the pain, she had me give him some Tagament to help with his stomach & to watch for signs of kidney failure. I had never heard of this before, but thought I would pass it on.
Oh yeah, she did say I could give him 1 Aspirin-but that would be the only OTC pain med (he weighs 36 lb.)
