Pets & Medication

Please do not give your pet ANY medication without first consulting a veterinarian. Even though you are trying to help your pet, you may be doing more harm than good. Medications such as aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen can be dangerous and potentially fatal if given to your pet. Ibuprofen toxicity can lead to gastric ulceration, renal failure and liver failure. Aspirin toxicity can cause gastric ulceration and an inability for blood to clot. If you feel your pet is in pain, please call our office and schedule an appointment. Our veterinarians can examine your pet, and make sure he or she receives the proper treatment and medications.
