It never pays to rely on the internet for veterinary advice. Every animal is different, so what works for one may not do the trick for another. Online advice often veers between misleading, or over general, to downright dangerous. Also, pet parents can waste precious time trying online remedies instead of seeking veterinary care.
Recent viral clips have recommended giving dogs or cats ibuprofen for pain. In truth, ibuprofen is toxic to all dogs and cats. In fact, if your pet ingests ibuprofen, you should contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary clinic right away.
Be sure to run any treatment advice past your veterinarian first. Even herbal remedies can be dangerous for certain animals. Finally, animals should never be given human medications unless recommended by a veterinarian.
