  • Precautions and Side Effects
     
  • While generally safe and effective when prescribed by a veterinarian, naproxen can cause side effects in some animals. Since the toxic level is very close to the therapeutic level in dogs and cats, it is rarely recommended in these species.
  • Naproxen should not be used in animals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to the drug.
  • Naproxen should not be used in animals with known kidney, blood or liver disorders. It should not be used in animals with pre-existing stomach ulcers.
  • Naproxen may interact with other medications. Consult with your veterinarian to determine if other drugs your pet is receiving could interact with naproxen . Such drugs include aspirin, other NSAIDs, corticosteroids and furosemide.
  • The most common adverse effects are bleeding gastric ulcers and

Royal1, You have confirmed what many suspected. Time to focus on your other alaises for a while. Your pontificating about the meaning of life does not sit easily with 'I don't care' and advising someone to give their pup medication which could at worst be lethal. I hope you don't have dogs.

Sounds like possibly pano(steitis), but there was also someone I once knew who had a dog with no socket to hold the leg in place who was doing the same/similar as this. Since the people on this board cannot see your dog in person, and most likely are not vets even if they could, I would highly recommend visiting your vet. Don't give your dog aleve or anything else until told to do so by someone who knows what they are doing. Your dog could end up worse for wear. :( 

You'll have to let us know what the end results are.


Good luck!

What I meant to say meaning "I don't care" my dog was fine with aleve. (Never had issues or side effect with my dog using aleve.) "I ONLY GAVE 2 TABLETS FOR FULL RECOVERY OF MY DOG"

Sorry guys, but If you don't like aleve I' am not forcing.

I only gave aleve because someone recommended to me, but hey!! my dog was fine :) :)

Just because the dog does not show outward signs of being sick does not mean it is fine, or that what you are doing is OK.  You are playing with fire using a drug like that on a dog without vet supervision.  Why would you not just use medications dosed and intended for dogs? 

Also, you have no proof that Aleve "cured" your dog.  For all we know, the dog was sore and happened to feel better.  I'm sure glad it did rather than end up at the ER vet because of Aleve.

Why would you not just use medications dosed and intended for dogs?
My respond: I was told aleve should help, didn't think at that moment medications for dogs.
It was long time ago and my dog is doing well even now :)



Also, you have no proof that Aleve "cured" your dog.

My respond:  Look, he was limping for 3+ weeks non-stop and after I gave 1 tablet of aleve - within few hours I saw sudden improvements in front of my eyes, unless my eyes deceiving me.



People also use human penicillin......for dogs. What would you say?

I use human drugs for my dogs all the time, but with a vet's blessing and I'm using drugs and dosages appropriate for DOGS.

by Royal1 on 12 September 2010 - 03:09

Okay!
