Phenylbutazone is a powerful medication that can be dangerous if not given under the supervision of a veterinarian.
Here's why you should never give your dog medication without consulting a veterinarian:
* Dosage: The correct dosage of phenylbutazone is crucial. Giving too much can be toxic, while giving too little might not be effective.
* Underlying Conditions: Phenylbutazone may interact with other medications your dog is taking or exacerbate underlying health conditions.
* Side Effects: This drug can have serious side effects, including ulcers, liver damage, and kidney problems.
If your dog is experiencing pain or discomfort, please contact your veterinarian immediately. They will be able to assess your dog's condition and recommend the best course of treatment.
