I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Sometimes these things take several days to kill them. It could have done liver damage. At the very best your dog is probably dehydrated and needs IV fluids. I was hopeful when you said he vomited, I thought maybe he vomited the pill up, but the vomiting sounds like it’s caused because some damage has been done. He needs to go to the hospital immediately.

| Your pup needs to go to an emergency vet immediately. Liver and/kidneys could be shutting down (permanently) at this point. ?this is a life threatening situation. A vet needs to be involved right now.

| I am sorry.......am I understanding this correctly......the puppy ate an Advil PM "a couple of days ago"????????? If that is accurate, the pill is totally absorbed,....immediate vet care is essential to perhaps save this baby at all.........all they can do for the baby now is treat his symptoms as they occur. I am curious why vet care was not sought immediately after the pup ate the pill? I would advise for future use, you google lists of toxins for your puppy....you can get lists of human medicine that can make your baby very ill or even kill him....as well as common household plants, cleaning supplies, stuff in the garage and yard, etc. Also get the number to an emergency vet as well as the poison control center and tape all this information to your fridge..........

| I'm so sorry, this sounds very bad. Please go to one of the ER vets listed above ASAP. He depends on you to get this help for him and do what you can to save him, you are the only hope that he has. If he swallowed the capsule two days ago, his lethargy is not due to the benadryl in the Advil PM, that is long gone out of his system. Please get him to the vet immediately.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Hopefully, you and your puppy are on the way to an er vet. Please in the future make sure you know what is considered an emergency and where to go. Unfortunately these little ones get into life threatening situations quickly. Please keep us posted.

| Like others have mentioned, you NEED to take your baby to an EMERGENCY VET NOW! From: Human Medications Poisonous to Pets - Meds Toxic to Dog and Cats NSAIDs (e.g. Advil, Aleve and Motrin) Topping our Top 10 list are common household medications called non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), which include common names such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil and some types of Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve). While these medications are safe for people, even one or two pills can cause serious harm to a pet. Dogs, cats, birds and other small mammals (ferrets, gerbils and hamsters) may develop serious stomach and intestinal ulcers as well as kidney failure.

| I'm so sorry to see this post. I was faced with basically the same thing. My baby, Louie, at only three and a half months old, got into something and his liver (almost) completely failed. He was put in the hospital for 8 days and I was heart broken. I'm really hoping your baby is doing okay now, and hopefully she is in the hospital and getting treated!
