Hello,
My Female 2year old German Shepherd ate 10 to 12 (200mg) within the past two hours. The local emergency vet said she should be okay, but was vague about whether or not to induce throwing up. Has anyone experienced this before, and is it better to have her throw up or not?

Everything I've read says Advil shouldn't be given to dogs...it can cause stomach ulcers.
I'd call the vet back and get a firm answer.
Good luck!
So would I. Even the tech on duty.

You should never give your dog Advil. (Ibuprofen). One 200-milligram tablet a day can trigger a stomach ulcer in a 50-pound dog. Twenty tablets in a single dose will kill that same dog. At this toxic dose, the drug closes the arteries to the kidneys, causing tissue damage through oxygen deprivation.END

Treatment for acute ibuprofen toxicosis includes inducing emesis, administering activated charcoal (multiple charcoal doses are indicated to reduce enterohepatic recirculation in dogs that have ingested high doses of ibuprofen) and GI protectants (H2-blockers, sucralfate, misoprostol), and inducing diuresis with intravenous fluids at twice the maintenance rate while monitoring renal function. With timely and appropriate treatment, most dogs are expected to have a positive outcome.
