Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is highly toxic** to dogs and can cause serious health problems, even in small doses.
Never give paracetamol to your dog without consulting a veterinarian.
If you suspect your dog has ingested paracetamol, contact your vet or an emergency animal hospital immediately.
Here's why paracetamol is dangerous for dogs:
* Liver damage: Paracetamol is metabolized differently in dogs than in humans, leading to a buildup of toxic substances in the liver.
* Red blood cell damage: It can cause anemia by damaging red blood cells.
* Kidney failure: Long-term exposure can damage the kidneys.
Please always consult a veterinarian for any health concerns related to your pet. They can provide safe and appropriate treatment options.
