sure he ate them? motrin will make him susceptible to bleeding if he is an active dog then bumping etc. may cause internal bleeding.



if he didn't eat a lot, then he should be ok. make sure he has water available to him to wash the meds through.

He has to be taken to a vet immediatley, human medicine is poison to dogs, rush him to an animal clinic, or call up your vet and rush him there.

Call a vet, emergency clinic or poison control now!!

They may give you instructions on what to do before taking your pup in.



Wish the best for your puppy.

Motrin is quite poisonous to dogs. You need to get to a vet right now.

If you can't get to a vet within a half an hour, make the dog swallow hydrogen peroxide until it vomits. Don't worry, all the peroxide will come right back up, and so will the Motrin.

If it's already been a half an hour, don't do anything, just go to a vet. Chances are it's already too late, but you don't want him to suffer.



Good luck.

Ibuprofen is very dangerous to dogs. You need to get him to an emergency vet ASAP. He will NOT be ok if you just feed him bread. Especially with his small size and if he ate the whole bottle, he could die if not taken to the vet. Good luck.

If he ate the whole bottle, give him some bread to eat. This can help to absorb the medication. If he just ate a few or so....don't worry. I don't think it will give him much more then an upset stomach. If he eats it regularly, yes, it will harm his kidneys and liver. I would not worry, but put it up where he can not gobble it up. Don't worry, but try to get him to eat some food and drink some water. He may get an upset stomach and vomit, but that may be a good thing. It will clear it out of his system. Good luck
