Antibiotics then fix the cause of the problem. When was the last time the mutt had its teeth cleaned? They get gingivitis and such just as we do.

Teeth cleaned last year, I also brush his teeth for him too. :) it's kinda gross but they need it too.

Don't give your dog over-the-counter meds. What someone says is "essentially" Tylenol can actually cause liver damage. Do your furry buddy a favor and pay for extra pain medication so he's not hurting as he's healing. I saw it all the time at the vet clinic I used to work at a long time ago...people would refuse to pay for extra painkillers to give their pets after surgery. I imagine the poor things suffered quite a bit when the IV medicine wore off.

The after hours vet has nothing but good reviews and solutions to seemingly expensive problems. I'd roll the dice and take my dog there. After reading the reviews he clearly cares about dogs so I would go there if I couldn't afford the more expensive options.

I'd like to see some details on this to back your claim up. The info I found was to give your dog a portion of a pill depending on weight. Too much Tylenol in a human will cause liver damage as well. I Dont see how the correct dose of Tylenol for the dogs weight would harm it.

Sorry I have don't have any answers because I live out in the middle of no where and I usually do my on vet work.

Ibuprofen is what you should give them. If you look at a lot of the animal drugs they are the same thing they give humans with just a higher price tag.

Tell that doc to go F herself, that you will only pay what you were quoted and approved ahead of time. If she thought more needed to be pulled, then she should have called you for approval first.

Sure! Here's a link:

The problem is that all painkillers are not created equal, and it's easy to substitute one painkiller for another. Usually this doesn't cause a problem with people (unless they have a sensitivity to NSAIDs or something) but it can cause a lot of problems with animals.

If thre's a question, I would simply call the vet clinic and ask if a certain medication is safe for the animal.
