No problem Mooh........I figured as much.

Dogs can take many of the same meds we do but the way it acts upon their systems versus ours can lead to trouble. Light dosage on aspirin has proven to be effective. The problem with other anti-inflammatories is that the quantity of the dose given may be too strong at one time for their system, especially kidneys, to handle. The problem THEN with the renal system is that it may be too late before you find out.
