When you have a minor problem ask your vet what human medicines would be good substitutes. My vet is so used to it, when I call with a problem he just tells me a human med. He only gives me animal meds if he can't come up with a substitute! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It bewilders me how you can give an animal aspirin. It really does. Is that Pet Grass that they sell in Petco for when dogs have upset stomachs, that's what I heard? Abigal von der Mueller

NSAIDs have similar effects in dogs and humans. There's a trade-off between pain- and inflammation-reduction, and the possible side effects, like ulcers. A balancing act of continually assessing the benefit and the dangers.

Diana Matusik Webboard User Reg: 04-27-2004 Posts: 456 Loc: Central FL Offline	Many meds can be given to our pets. Steroids, painkillers, antibiotics (not all, but I'll bet a good many do cross the specie barriers). Metronidazole is a med used for humans but it's widely used on fish. It's good that you asked this BEFORE your dog gets sick! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> You can explore possibly cheaper alternatives by getting human meds or farm-supply meds. Hopefully your vet will be open to your questions (which you should discuss before the need arises).

A dog by comparison has a rather small, but as complex hepatic system, and might suffer the same detriment.
