ibuprofen is not tolerated by dogs at levels that are okay in humans. Severe GI bleeding or kidney failure can result at levels well below those that are known to be safe in humans.

What is the dosage of Ibuprofen for a 50 dog?

1st Answer: Ibuprofen is toxic to dogs and cats -- their livers cannot process it. The dosage is NONE. 2nd Incorrect Answer: Ibuprofen can be toxic to dogs and cats in very low doses. Yes their livers can process it. The recommended dosage is 2.5 mg/lb every 12 hours. Now the dosage has a very small safe window so there are much better choices. It is only a choice if you have no access to a vet in the short term. 3rd Answer: NO Ibuprofen should NEVER be used with dogs or cats. You can use buffered aspirin instead. The dog should be taken to a Veterinarian to be checked out. The Vet can then recommend the appropiate medication. Ibuprofen is never a CHOICE for dogs or cats.
