While pain relievers can be very important for our furry friends, don’t reach to your medicine cabinet for help.

Aspirin, Acetaminophen (Tylenol), and Ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin) can be extremely dangerous causing kidney problems, liver damage, and GI and bleeding disorders.

Signs of NSAID toxicity include:

• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Abnormal appetite, drinking or urination
• Seizures
• Tremors
• Lethargy
• Respiratory problems
• Death

Animals feel pain just as we do and our furry family often need pain management.  But always seek the counsel of a veterinarian first.
