What is the dosage of Ibuprofen for a 50 dog?

1st Answer:

ibuprofen is toxic to dogs and cats -- their livers cannot process it. The dosage is NONE.

2nd Incorrect Answer:

Ibuprofen can be toxic to dogs and cats in very low doses. Yes their livers can process it. The recommended dosage is 2.5 mg/lb every 12 hours. Now the dosage has a very small safe window so there are much better choices. It is only a choice if you have no access to a vet in the short term.

3rd Answer:

NO Ibuprofen should NEVER be used with dogs or cats. You can use buffered aspirin instead. The dog should be taken to a Veterinarian to be checked out. The Vet can then recommend the appropiate medication. Ibuprofen is never a CHOICE for dogs or cats.
