My horse's back is sore from a saddle. What's the best way to treat it?
Soreness in a horse's back is definitely not uncommon, particularly as they get a little older and if they are using inappropriate tack. There are several things that can be done in order to address pain. I would not attempt to "crack" her back without having some measure of expertise in equine chiropractics. Chiropractics and acupuncture are both valuable tools for helping horses but only in the hands of a skilled practitioner. Other options would include anti-inflammatory medication like banamine, phenylbutazone, or previcox. These are all prescription drugs that would require the approval from a veterinarian. Lastly, one thing you should do regardless of your choice is to stall rest delilah for the next few days. Give her back some time to settle down in case there is any spasming. Hope this helps!

My Doberman ate Naproxen. Is 500mg too much for an 85lb dog?
Considering that Naproxen has a very narrow safety margin and a maximum dose of 2mg/kg is described in literature, your dog would have received a seven-fold dose, ie 500mg /35kg = 14 mg/kg, thus making it likely that he may develop some stomach and kidney trouble. I would recommend that you call ASPCA's poison control number. That number is 888-426-4435. There is a $65 charge, but they will be able to best advise you. Please have the label available so you can let them know the amount of medication listed and what any other potentially concerning ingredients were. I hope thats helpful, thanks for using Boop by Petco

My dog ate Aleve. Is 100mg safe for a 40lb dog? What should I do?
Naproxen is toxic to dogs, however it has been used in exceptional situations at typically 2mg/kg. Your dog weighs 40 lbs, ie 18 kg , so did not ingest a dangerous amount of Naproxen at 100mg. Please make sure to keep all medications locked up so your dog cannot reach and eat them.

My horse has arthritis. What are the best treatment options available?
There are many treatment options actually. Here they are: 1) Oral joint supplements like Dasuquin or Adequan is available over the counter 2) Fish oils (pet formulated from your local pet store). These have natural anti-inflammatory properties. 3) Analgesics- strictly for pain: Tramadol OR Gabapentin from your local vet 4) Glycoaminoglycans- weekly Adequan injections for 4-6 weeks is a very effective treatment for osteoarthritis in pets. 5) NSAIDs- pet formulated only and prescribed by your veterinarian. Carprofen, Deramaxx, etc. Here is more information on osteoarthritis in pets and effective treatments to reiterate what I have suggested here. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2863

My dog ate Naproxen. Should I still worry about kidney failure?
Most cases of toxicosis occur in dogs that are repeatedly given Naproxen. I did find in an article online (the link is below if you want to read the entire article) that "The APCC data suggest that a one-time dose of 7 mg/kg or greater can cause clinical signs of GI irritation and ulceration (vomiting, diarrhea, melena, anorexia), whereas azotemia (elevation of kidney levels) is possible at doses ranging from 13 to 15 mg/kg." Based on your dogs weight of 44 pounds, if he ate one 250 mg tablet then the dose would have been 12.5 mg/kg. The best thing would be to have your vet check kidney values 24-48 hours after the ingestion to make sure all values are normal. Hope this information helps! http://veterinarymedicine.dvm360.com/toxicology-brief-naproxen-toxicosis-dogs?id=&pageID=1&sk=&date=
