My dog got into a container of ibuprophen and tylenol. I wasn't their to see it, so I dont know if she actually ate any or not. Is there anything I can do short of taking her to the vet?

No Tylenol
You should not give your dog such products as Tylenol as a substitute for real aspirin. Some people say their vet prescribed Tylenol, but most sources say it should not be given to animals.
The typical toxic dosage for that size dog is about 150mg/kg (in cats its about 50mg/kg). A 90lb dog would need to eat about 6000mg to be a toxic dose, and since he only possibly got about 1600mg it should hopefully not cause a fatal reaction, but could still cause some other problems like liver damage (especially if hes an older dog, or already has liver problems, or is on any other meds). If you see any vomiting, abdominal pain, dark colored urine or gums get to a vet asap. If he has ingested them within the past 4 hours, I would induce vomiting to play it safe. Give him 5 Tbsp of Hydrogen Peroxide orally to make him vomit, you can repeat that dose up to 3 times, 20 minutes apart if needed.

Make sure your pet has plenty of water, call the vet. Ibuprofen or tylenol can easily kill a pet, depending on it's size of course.

I think there is an emergency number to call to ask about pets and what we can do if something is wrong. It should be in the local phone book. We had to call it when my dog ate two king size chocolate bars.

She really needs to be seen by a vet but if you don't want to take her just keep a close eye on her. Make sure she is still eating and drinking properly and is still active. You might also want to check her stool to make sure there is no blood in it.

Do you have kids? I hope not. Keep your pills in a place where your pets can't get them. I think your dog should be fine as long as he didn't take the whole bottle.

call you vet immediately, tylenol is very hard on the liver and if your dog eat too much and cause liver damage.

try to induce vomiting by by feeding her a little peroxide. small amounts of tylenol is safe in dogs, so unless she ate a substantial amount, i wouldn't worry.

well try keeping a better eye on your dog, keep all of the tyenol or any of those things high wer the dog can not reach it... but you need to go check the dog to a doctor, because if your dog did eat it, its very bad.. hopefully he did not.. but better safe then sorry.. good luck!

Call your vet ASAP!!! Never, ever wait about calling your vet when your dog has ingested meds.
