Paracetemol for dogs?

[Eastonwolfs]

Hello everyone

Does anyone know if it is safe to give a dog paracetemol?

Thanks

Paracetamol and Aspirin are more toxic in use for dogs.

Go onto the web. key in Paracetamol for Dogs. There were a few sites dealing with the question. Hopefully you might get some relevant info.

I think Lynn is right to suggest getting some more info but I am sure paracetamol is not safe for dogs.

Asprin and Paracetemol can be given to dogs, with the proviso that, the same as with humans, some can suffer side effects. For a Golden sized dog one 300mg tablet. BUT ON NO ACCOUT GIVE IBUPROFEN!!! Also never give any of these to cats, they will OD on a very small amount. But remember, these are strong drugs and although may be useable in an emergency, but if they are needed then really, unless it is impossible, a trip to the vet is the order of the day.

But always remember, never Ibuprofen, and none of them ever to cats, they will kill!

Regards, John

Thanks for the replies everyone, in desperation we did give Amber a paracetemol on Sunday...wouldn't normallly, but got advice from the NOAH website, which said it was OK.

All will be revealed...
