I know Carprofen is a pain medication put is it for hip Dysplasia
Carprofen is an NSAID (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). It can help relieve pain and also decrease inflammation. It is used in cases of painful joints such as arthritis or hip dysplasia, sometimes in combination with other drugs/treatments if it is not providing adequate pain control. You can read more about the drug at https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951477

My two standards poodles had a pretty hard collision playing ball. One was fine, the other was limping for awhile after. He is walking normal now, but does appear sore. We have Carprofen on hand because this has happened so many times. Is it safe t
There are no drug interactions between omeprazole, carafate and carprofen however, don't give them all together. You would want to give the carprofen either 1 hour prior or 1 hour after giving the others. Carafate and Omeprazole given at the same time as carprofen will inhibit it's absorption. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

We accidentally gave my dog her 50 mg dose of carprofen 2x within a couple hours a total of 100mg and she weighs roughly 55lbs pitbull mix do we need to get her charcoal? All of the vets near us are closed
Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Spice. The typical dose of Carprofen is 2mg/lb once daily, so you did not overdose her, but gave her the full days dose in a few hours. You do not need to give her charcoal, just wait 24 hours after the last dose, then start giving it again as instructed. I hope this helps!

Small 4 year old dachsund took a little less than 1 tablet (75mg) Carprofen over 2 days.. Is this a toxic level? Not sure if she reacted to the meds or if she injured her back without us noticing.... She cannot move her legs, but can still wag her ta
In an otherwise healthy dog, the toxic dose of carprofen is 20 mg/kg as a single dose. So if your girl got 1/2 of the tablet (37.5 mg) each day, we would not expect this to cause toxicity issues unless she weighs less than 4 pounds. Carprofen overdoses normally cause GI problems like vomiting and stomach ulcers, or kidney failure at very high doses - loss of function in the rear legs would not be an expect symptom of this, so it's likely that she has a back problem causing this rather than a reaction to the carprofen. Rear leg paralysis can be very serious, especially if she has no movement or sensation at all in her back legs, so it would be best to take her to an emergency clinic tonight rather than waiting until morning if you can. Depending on the severity of the problem, some dogs may need emergency surgery to restore function.
