www.barkandwhiskers.com/nsaids-dogsStory at-a-glance A recently published retrospective study demonstrates that a therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) procedure can save the lives of dogs who’ve ingested human nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that have already been absorbed into the bloodstream The study involved 62 dogs, all of whom had all ingested a toxic dose of ibuprofen, carprofen, or naproxen; 61 of the dogs survived after undergoing a TPE procedure NSAIDs, acetaminophen, and antidepressants are among the most common medications involved in pet poisonings If you’re a pet parent, play it safe and take steps to store all medications and supplements out of your animal companion’s reach If you suspect your pet has ingested a human over-the-counter or prescription medication call your veterinarian, a local emergency animal hospital, or a pet poison hotline immediately My notes: It talks mainly of dogs but the article can be for cats as well. Be aware of what you can & can't give your pet.

We don't give our pets pain relievers unless the vet prescribed them.
