Can You Give A Dog Childrens Tylenol
Olivia Luz
Children s tylenol for dogs if you choose to give acetaminophen to your dog consider how well your dog will tolerate the other ingredients found in children s tylenol.
Oftentimes if a veterinarian is prescribing acetaminophen to a dog it is being prescribed in addition to other medications as a part of a multidrug pain plan in dogs that are in great pain. Tylenol is generally safe for dogs but must be prescribed by a veterinarian in order to administer the right dose and duration of treatment. The standard canine dose is 5 to 10 mg of children s tylenol for every pound of body weight taken no more than three times a day. The short answer to this question is yes.
The correct dosage will not affect the lining of the stomach or the influence of kidney functions. Tylenol on its own can have some effect on pain in dogs but it does not affect inflammation which means it may not be an ideal solo drug choice for effectively treating many pain conditions in pets. You need to keep in mind that too much of this drug even baby tylenol can be toxic to dogs. The usual tylenol for dog dose is 5 to 10 mg per kilogram of body weight.
But as long as your veterinarian says it is okay you can give your dog tylenol in recommended doses. Never give children s tylenol or any other human medication to puppies.
