The fact that Bernie will pick up anything he sees drives me up the wall but right now It has me stressed & worried.
Last night (Thursday) we think he ate a 200 mg ibuprofen. A couple got knocked off the counter. We rushed to pick them up before Bernie could get to them and thought we got them all but the next thing we know we her him crunching on something. It was chewed up and swallowed before I could get my finger in his mouth to get it out. We called the ER vet and they said that if he did eat one it wasn't anywhere near enough the toxic level it would take to harm him and he should be ok. They said the toxic level is 75 mg/pound and he's almost 40 pounds.
He never acted sick last night or this morning. When we got home this evening he had vomited In his crate. It liiked like ut had just happed. It was just foamy watery stuff, nothing solid but as soon as I opened the door he flew out of if and started grazing on foliage. He acted fine but of course 15 minutes later he vomited all that foliage up. After that he was running around here in his "couped up in the crate too long, you better play with me know" mode. And he ate some food. Took him back out to potty and he went straight for another salad. And yep a few minutes later and I got to see it and his food.
I can't take him out without him wanting to graze. But he doesn't seem to feel bad. I'm so worried that this is all caused from the ibuprofenand that he could have worse problems. Has anyone here had experience with this?
I'm planning to take him to the vet in the morning so please say a prayer that he will be ok.
