| She is acting wierd (sp) since her shots today! Lola had her second shots this morning and since we got home she is been standing in one spot and do not want to move. I gave her children tylenol but before that I got confused and gave her tylenol cold, I realized my mistake after she started making noise. I gave her water right away but I don't know if this is why she is acting like that. I don't like to see her like this, she's always running and playing with her toys. Is it my foult she is like that?? is it because the children cold tylenol?? |

| I think I remember seeing a thread on here about Tylenol being really bad for Yorkies. I will try to find it! |

| If you mean tylenol as in acetametaphen, call the vet immediately. It is toxic to dogs.

| You should NOT give dog tylenol...I would call your vet, right away, and ask him what to do, or take your pup in now... |

| Some vets do say you can give small amounts, I think, but it's not good medicine (imo). Please call a different vet...

| I just called the vet and he said children tylenol is ok for her and she maybe have fever because of the shots. She is standing and walk a little bit but goes back to her spot. I call her and do not come to me. Vet say to call him anytime if I still concern but to wait until the tylenol work.. Does that sound ok?? should I call another vet?? |

| Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Ibuprofen toxicity is due to an active metabolite made by the liver from the drug. This metabolite causes severe damage to liver cells and red blood cells. Dogs tend to have more liver damage, whereas cat's red blood cells undergo a transformation of their normal oxygen carrying hemoglobin to a non functional form called methemoglobin. One Children's Tylenol tablet contains almost twice the toxic level for a normal sized cat per kilogram of body weight, and the adult size Tylenol has more than six times the toxic level! The following quotes are all from the American Veterinary Medical Association: American Veterinary Medical Association "Animal poisoning by drugs is by far the most common type of small animal poison exposure, accounting for 75% of 1990 toxin exposures as reported by the AAPCC and 82 of 425 fatalities.""Due to the significant toxicity to pets in relatively minimal dosages, the recommendation is clear — Tylenol should not be given to dogs or cats. " Acetaminophen can be toxic to dogs. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains acetaminophen, sometimesn abbreviated as "APAP"), diphenhydramine, or phenylephrine. The symptoms may be: * Vomiting * Diarrhea * Difficulty in breathing * Dark colored urine * Listlessness If your pet ingests Tylenol, get them to a veterinarian right away for emergency treatment. The problem is more acute and life threatening in cats than in dogs (though by no means safe in your canine companion). Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Phenylbutazone, Naproxen (NSAID toxicity) There may be different views on this where you live, but Tylenol is Tylenol and it can be toxic. I'd probably go to the ER or at least get ahold of a vet that will talk you through how to induce vomiting, etc. If they all agree that this is okay, I really don't know what to say because it is not.
