My dog ate ibuprofen and vomited. What symptoms should I watch for?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | neutered | 1 year and 4 months old | 54 lbs

There is a possibility my dog could have eaten some ibuprofen. Unfortunately I was not the one at home at the time so I can't confirm. He vomited the entire contents of his stomach overnight and urinated in the house. He is holding food down and there is no blood in his urine or stool. I contacted our local vet and he said the vomiting was a good thing and to keep him on fluids and watch for blood. If he is puking more than 24 hours or I start seeing blood, bring him in. Still worried though.

I agree with your vet to keep an eye on Calcifer and if his symptoms continue or worsen, to bring him in. Keeping him happy, eating, and spending a little time together to cuddle may help your own nerves as well!
