Ibuprofen toxicity in dogs can be a medical emergency.

Symptoms of ibuprofen toxicity in dogs can include:

- Weakness
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Kidney failure
- Liver failure
If you think your dog has eaten ibuprofen, call your veterinarian immediately.
Treatment for ibuprofen toxicity in dogs will depend on the severity of the symptoms.
In mild cases, your veterinarian may recommend inducing vomiting and giving your dog activated charcoal to absorb the ibuprofen. In more severe cases, your dog may need to be hospitalized for intravenous fluids, pain medication, and other supportive care.
Ibuprofen toxicity in dogs can be fatal if it is not treated promptly.
If you have ibuprofen in your home, be sure to keep it out of reach of your dog.
