My dog fell down the stairs yesterday, that's not even the worse part, I didn't know any better and I could have sworn that we've done it before, but I gave my dog 2 200mg advil....thsi was last night. He was acting fine all day, no problems. My grandmother gave him 2 more later today when she got home from work...around 2 this afternoon. I took the dog to the vet thank gof for his foot and told them what I did....next thing you know the vet told me my dog was toxined from the advil. So they gave him 3 bottles of charcoal and another med i have to give him. Well since we got home @ 5:30, he threw up. Is this dose 800mg of ibuprofen toxic? Will it kill him? He has been acting fine. Can anyone help me, feel free to call me or email me or text me. I called the Emergency center and they said to call the animal poison center and they want 55 dollars to even talk to me. If i had the moneyI would do it no problem, but I don't have it! Any ideas, suggestions??

My dog is a half rotty half boxer and weighs 130 lbs. I'm hoping because he is so big it will not hurt him. Help me please.

Advil most commonly causes kidney toxicity problems, and can affect the liver. If your dog should start vomiting or urinating blood, and/or become anorexic in the next few days, then back to the Vet you go ASAP. The immediate vomiting was probably a left over response to the activated charcoal - which itself induces vomiting. The youth of the dog will help it deal with the toxicity problems. Probably a geriatric dog would have been in deep trouble with that much Advil.

P.S. Never post your email addr and phone number on the Internet, unless you want your Email spammed to death, and all kinds of nuts calling you on the phone.
