http://www.2ndchance.info/pain.htm (the info below is copied from there, but read the whole page)

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid):

In 1899, the German company, Bayer, began marketing the new drug "Aspirin". Over the succeeding hundred years, aspirin became the most widely used anti-inflammatory drug in humans and dogs. It can be purchased in various forms including plain, buffered, and enteric-coated formulations as well as topical creams and rectal suppositories. It begins reducing pain in 1-2 hours after it is swallowed. Aspirin like drugs are called salicylates.
None of them, including aspirin, were ever approved by the FDA for use in pets.

Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, Medipren):

This is a great anti-inflammatory drug in humans but it consistently causes ulcers in dogs after 2-6 weeks of use. In dogs, it will eventually cause ulcers of the stomach as well as vomiting. At a dose low enough to not have these side effects, the drug probably does not relieve pain. I do not recommend the use of ibuprofen in pets.

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.

yes, I did tell the vet/ She gave Max 3 bottles of charcoal and gave me 3 more which i just gave him. Also a drug called carafan. Thank you for those links, I did read them earlier, but i read some links where they say some vets prescribe ibuprofen and some say not too. thanks for the help.

Sending Hugs and good thought to you and your beautiful pup!

If your giving him more charcoal I'd say that's why he's throwing up.
I do hope that's all it is.

Please keep us updated on how he is.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

I've used very low sdoses of aspirin with my dogs, but I've never used advil... hope he's okay. I'm not a vet, but she told you only 4 tablets over 12 hours for a 130-lb. dog poisoned him?

This is a site from our vets for info. If she gave you "carprofen", it's related to advil, same class of drugs, but for dogs. It says 1 in 1000 dogs will vomit as a side effect.

How's he doing now?

I meant - did your vet tell you 1) if Advil is safe for dogs, and 2) what the right dosage is?
