Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 20 lbs

My dog at 1200mg of ibuprofen, and is 20lbs. She ate it about an hour before we took her to the vet, where she had induced vomiting, activated charcoal, and on fluids for 24 hours. We have just brought her home now. What are the chances that she will be okay???

Since you managed to go take her to a vet right away and he she had the proper treatment there is a good chance that she will be ok. You will find out next week when you take her to your own vet for some blood tests checking her kidneys and liver. If those are normal then she did not get damaged by the Ibuprofen.
