Roscoe should be taken to the nearest veterinary ER. Vomiting can be induced via injection to get the pill out before it is digested and absorbed. Activated charcoal may be administered afterwards to further reduce absorption. These actions are most successful when done within 2 hours of ingestion. Medication to prevent ulcers may be dispensed and kidney function may need to be monitored. https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/aleve/
