Dog stung by scorpion, what to do? Is ibuprofen safe for dogs?

No, you cannot give her ibuprofen, as it is toxic for dogs and can be fatal if given. If she was hit by a car, this is medical emergency and she needs to be seen by a vet right away. She could have serious internal injuries, please take her into a vet now, she needs immediate medical attention.

It is not recommended to give pets ibuprofen. I recommend instead to call your veterinarian. They may want to see him to make sure his cranial cruciate ligament has not been injured or that a kneecap is out of place. They can also provide pet safe pain medication. Tonight keep him off the leg as much as possible. Gently massage the leg and you can apply a cool, not cold, compress. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Thank you for contacting Pet Coach with your question about Zeus. Please do NOT give him ibuprofen, it is toxic to dogs and have a very narrow safety margin. You could accidentally cause great harm to him if you give it to him. It sounds like to me he is in a lot of pain if he hasn't moved off the couch, won't eat or drink, and moves very slowly when you do get him down. Because there aren't any safe OTC pain medications you can give, I would take him into a vet now. The vet can prescribe pain medication for him that's safe, and can examine him to see what could be causing the pain. Have him seen by a vet immediately. I hope this helps, best of luck!

No, it is not safe to give Buffy Motrin, so please do not give it to her. Many human OTC pain medications are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. The only safe pain medications for dogs are available at the vet. I would have her seen by a vet first thing Monday to get pain medication prescribed. In the meantime, rest her as much as possible. No running, jumping, or playing. Take her out to potty on a lead only and bring her right back in when she's done. I hope this helps!

Oh no, that's not good! Ibuprofen is toxic to dogs, and the best thing for you to do is take Paxx into the vet immediately. The vet can start decontamination procedures to prevent ibuprofen toxicity from occurring. Please take Paxx into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him now.

Oh no, poor Toby! Unfortunately, there are no pain medications you can give him as many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. You can him him an oatmeal bath or an Epsom salt bath. Either may be temporarily soothing to Toby.

Poor Stella! No, I would not recommend giving her aspirin - this is not safe for use in dogs, and will interfere with your veterinarian's ability to treat her appropriately if she needs to see the vet for her sting. If the area is mildly swollen and sore but your pup is otherwise acting normal, you shouldn't need to do anything - just like a human with a wasp or bee sting, it will be sore for a few days but should resolve on its own. If she seems excessively painful, or if she has significant swelling or any other symptoms such as vomiting, hives, or difficulty breathing, then I would recommend taking her to the vet to be seen as these can be signs of a more serious reaction.
