My Red Lab bit into a liquid Aleve. It does not appear that he ingested much if any. He also seems fine. Should I do anything?

Hello. While we do not recommend using Aleve in dogs, a single mild exposure should not be a problem. Let me give you some guidelines & what to look for. Gastrointestinal signs can be seen if a 75 pound dog ingests more than 238 mg at one time, & renal (kidney) signs can be seen starting at 443 mg. This is all for a 75 pound dog. If you do not think Solu ingested this much, then he should be fine. If he does start vomiting, please contact your veterinarian. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
