Can a dog take painkiller nise?

Can a dog have human Nimesil?

It should be noted that animals also get sick from time to time, just like people. Sometimes these diseases are identical not only in name, but also in essence - arthritis, arthrosis, radiculitis, some urological diseases, fever. In all these cases, we usually take a medicine such as Nimesil, but can it be offered to animals to urgently relieve suffering? This becomes especially true when it comes to the need to relieve, and very quickly, acute pain. Suppose a dog damaged (broke, dislocated, severely bruised) its paw somewhere in the country, and it’s an hour’s drive to the doctor. Let's try to figure it out.

From the point of view of veterinarians, this drug is extremely dangerous for canines, and it can be given, but only in extreme, extreme (using the example of the case described above) situations. This should be done extremely rarely, since some owners may make it a rule to give Nimesil with or without reason, at the slightest whine from their beloved dog. And this is not only wrong, but also dangerous. Among the side effects of the drug are the following:

diarrhea will definitely follow, and the stool will be black, as with cirrhosis of the liver (draw your own conclusions about this about how the medicine acts on this organ);
vomiting and nausea are not excluded;
weakness, lethargy, apathy;
loss of appetite because digestion is thoroughly upset;
lack of desire to move at all.

Nimesil, Nise or Nimesulide?

Nise and nimesil contain the active ingredient nimesulide. They belong to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

The maximum concentration of Nise in the blood is observed 1.5-2 hours after administration, and Nimesil only after 2-3 hours, although the second one begins to act faster. At the same time, Nise is several times cheaper. The effect of the drug lasts for 6 hours.

Nise is available in the form of tablets and gel, and Nimesil is available in powder form. From this point of view, Nimesil is more suitable for dogs, because. it is easier to obtain the desired concentration.

Nimesulide is not the name of a drug, but an active substance, so this concept is many times broader.

Nimesulide is used in veterinary medicine primarily as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug in dogs, cats, goats, sheep, cattle, buffaloes and horses. It can also be used in the treatment of coccidiosis in poultry.

NSAIDs based on nimesulide differ only in the manufacturer, release form, price, and the concentration of the substance in all drugs is the same.

It is important to understand that all these drugs have a whole host of side effects (diarrhea, tarry stools, vomiting, lethargy and lack of appetite, excessive salivation, indigestion), and have a detrimental effect on the liver and kidneys, so they should not be given to dogs often. Only in isolated cases and in acceptable doses.

Even veterinarians try to select analogs and prescribe Nimesil as rarely as possible.

How to give?

It is clear that a normal dog, especially one with pain, will not drink this crap. Therefore, the owners need to show some ingenuity. If you have a syringe at hand, then there will be no special problems; you can use it and inject the medicine into the dog’s mouth. Just remember that it is advisable to do this through the side teeth, not the front ones. In this case, most of the medicine will enter the esophagus.

If there is no syringe, then open the mouth with your hand, hold the head up, but not too much, and pour in the drug, and then stroke the throat, thereby causing a swallowing reflex. By the way, with the second method, more of the medicine will reliably reach its destination, and will not be smeared on the lips and teeth. If you use some kind of measuring container, then you can add approximately 10-15% to the calculated volume for the losses described.

Can it be given as a painkiller?

Our smaller brothers get sick just as much as we do, and sometimes even with the same diseases. But for the treatment of animals, special medications have been developed that have a different dosage, or even a completely different composition.

Nimesil is indicated for the relief of infectious inflammation, treatment of pathologies of the musculoskeletal system (arthritis, bursitis, osteochondrosis, radiculitis, rheumatism, osteoarthritis), treatment of gynecological, vascular, urological diseases, to eliminate fever of various origins.

Nimesil is an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic drug and works well against pain. It comes in the form of small sachets containing a powdery substance that is taken orally dissolved in water.

The medicine fights pain symptoms well, quickly copes with its task and has a long-lasting effect.

Veterinarians allow the use of Nimesil for dogs for broken limbs, increased body temperature, post-operative, dental and other types of pain. However, this drug is quite dangerous, so self-treatment is not recommended.

Instructions for use

Dosage

To understand how to calculate the dose required for a dog, let's give an example.

A Nimesil sachet contains 100 mg of active ingredient. The contents of the sachet are diluted with boiled water in the proportions of 1.5 mg/1 kg of weight.

Let's assume the dog weighs 5 kg.

Formula: 1.5 mg * 5 kg = 7.5 mg should be given to the dog at one time.

For first aid (painkillers and antipyretics), the dog should be given Nimesil twice a day: early in the morning and in the evening, before bedtime. So, the total dose is 7.5*2=15 mg.

One sachet of Nimesil is diluted in 100 ml of boiled water at room temperature. As a result, we get that 100 ml = 100 mg. In such proportions it is easier to subtract the required dose.

You need to give medicine to your dog using a syringe, but not through the front teeth, but through the side teeth.

For puppies

For puppies (at least 5 months old!) The formula for diluting the drug is the same, but milk can be used instead of water.

Returning to the previous point, I would like to emphasize that powder Nimesil is more convenient to give to dogs than Nise tablets. Under no circumstances should you give medicine to your dog on an empty stomach.

Contraindications

Nimesil should not be given to dogs diagnosed with:

acute bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract;
stomach ulcer;
severe renal dysfunction;
pregnancy and feeding;
individual hypersensitivity to the drug and its components.

If it gets bad

If Nimesil is not suitable for your dog, it begins to behave in a special way. Her behavior changes (she becomes lethargic, passive), salivation increases, appetite decreases, there may be digestive disorders (diarrhea, constipation), drowsiness and even convulsions.

In this case, you should stop taking Nimesil and NSAIDs in general and immediately take your pet to a veterinary clinic.

Nimesulide (Aulin, Nise)

Adolescents weighing over 40 kg - 100 mg (10 ml) no more than 2 times a day.

Pharmachologic effect:

NSAIDs have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic and antiplatelet effects. Unlike other NSAIDs, it selectively suppresses COX2 and inhibits Pg synthesis at the site of inflammation; has a less pronounced inhibitory effect on COX1 (less likely to cause side effects associated with inhibition of Pg synthesis in healthy tissues).

Side effects:

Heartburn, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastralgia, ulceration of the gastrointestinal mucosa, headache, dizziness; fluid retention, allergic reactions (skin rash, anaphylactic shock); thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, anemia, agranulocytosis; increased activity of “liver” transaminases; prolongation of bleeding time; hematuria.

Special instructions:

With long-term use, systematic monitoring of renal function is necessary.

Interaction:

Pharmacokinetic interaction - at the level of binding to plasma proteins (increases the concentration of drugs that compete for binding to plasma proteins). Myelotoxic drugs increase the manifestations of hematotoxicity of the drug.

ALL REVIEWS

Reviews

Nimesil is truly a miraculous and very strong pain reliever. Some dogs are literally healed after taking it, while others get worse. It all depends on each case, the breed of the animal, the cause of the disease and other factors.

Interestingly, animal reproduction studies have shown adverse effects on the fetus.

Some veterinarians flatly prohibit the use of Nimesil, Nise and other NSAIDs to treat animals, including dogs.

In any case, if you suspect any disease, you must immediately show the dog to a veterinarian.

Painkiller groups for dogs

Painkillers for dogs are divided into the following groups depending on the mechanism of their effect on the body:

Anti-inflammatory:

Ketofen,
Carprofen (Rimadyl),
Maloksivet,
Miloclox,
Norocarp,
Phenylbutazone,
Maloxyvet

Analgesics:

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs):

Antipyretic:

Painkillers:

Nutraceuticals:

Antispasmodics:

What painkiller can you give your dog?

A wide arsenal of analgesics will not cause problems in choosing painkillers that can be given to a dog, but Ketonal and Carprofen are considered to be among the safest. But Nurofen, beloved by many inexperienced dog breeders, is highly not recommended for use, as it can cause stomach bleeding and many other side effects that can be fatal. Ibuprofen, Ketorol, Indomethacin are also prohibited.

Ketonal

The active ingredient of Ketonal, ketoprofen, is well tolerated by dogs and is used at a dose of 1 mg/kg of the pet’s weight for no more than 10 days in a row. The analgesic is used to relieve pain from injuries (fractures, bruises), in the postoperative period, for diseases of the spine (herniated intervertebral discs), arthrosis, and arthritis.

Meloxicam

Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used in veterinary practice to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in diseases of the musculoskeletal system, in case of soft tissue damage, and in the postoperative period.

Meloxicam is prescribed to dogs at a dose of 0.1 mg per 1 kg of weight in the form of a suspension and at a dose of 0.2 mg per 1 kg when administered subcutaneously.

It is not recommended for use in young animals under six weeks of age, as well as in pregnant and lactating dogs.

Carprofen

Carprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that has minimal side effects when treating dogs. The product is used for pain after surgery, fever, arthritis and arthrosis.

As a rule, a veterinarian prescribes Cartprofen at a dose of 2 mg/kg of pet’s weight twice a day. For a course lasting more than 7 days, the daily dose of NSAIDs is reduced to 2 mg/kg.

Pain relievers for dogs

Available pain relievers for dogs are Ketonal or Ketoprofen. This product is not only quite affordable, but convenient for use, since it is available both in the form of an injection solution and in tablets. The drug can be used for up to one and a half weeks.

Vedaprofen (Quadrisol) in the form of a gel, specially designed to relieve pain symptoms in dogs,
has proven itself to be effective in relieving pain in various diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
The disadvantage of this drug is its relatively high cost. The gel can be used for 28 days. Carprofen (Rimadyl) is a relatively safe painkiller in tablets that helps relieve pain. The drug is quite effective, and its use in acceptable doses allows it to be used for quite a long time.

Baralgin and Analgin are tolerated quite easily by animals, but their effect is much weaker than that of Ketonal, so these drugs cannot be considered as effective as possible.

Veterinarians recommend using Revalgin and Spazgan to relieve antispasmodic pain in pets.

If it is not possible to consult with a veterinarian about the possibility of giving this or that drug to a dog, and also to find out the required dosage, you can use homeopathic remedies Traumatin or Traumeel.

The drugs Indomethacin, Ketorolac, Diclofenac are strongly not recommended for the treatment of dogs. These medications can lead to serious consequences and even death of the pet.

If you have any doubts about what pain reliever you can give your dog, be sure to consult a qualified veterinarian.

Pain relief for dogs at home

There are situations when the owner needs to give pain relief to the dog at home (trauma, exacerbation of arthritis, arthrosis, toothache or post-operative pain); drugs such as Analgin, Spazgan, Ketonal, Tramal are suitable for these purposes. Painkiller injections for dogs are necessary in case of cancer. They are prescribed by a doctor, since the drugs are opioids, for example, Tramadol.

Tablets for joints

Pathologies of the musculoskeletal system in dogs require the use of joint tablets; to reduce inflammation, relieve swelling and relieve pain, NSAIDs are usually prescribed; drugs such as Rimadyl R, Dexafort, Vedaprofen, Fluniject have a good therapeutic effect.

For oncology

To ease your pet's suffering, your veterinarian will prescribe strong opioids. At home, medications such as Tramal, Tramadol, Dexalgin will help relieve pain once. You can inject your dog with Ketonal. This drug, unlike Ketorol, does not cause severe side effects.

After surgery, sterilization

You can give your pet an analgesic after surgery or sterilization after consultation with a surgeon, but, as a rule, at home, to reduce pain, the dog is given Travmatin, Meloxicam, Gabapentin. Where to inject the painkiller depends on the drug used. As a rule, the annotation indicates the method of application - subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously.

What to give for the stomach

For the stomach with intestinal colic, the best remedy would be No-shpa or Spazgan, Buscopan.

Analgesics should be given to the dog with extreme caution so as not to blur the clinical picture of the pathology. Painkillers can be given to a human dog, but it is important not to harm them.

For injuries

In case of injuries (fractures, dislocations, sprains), the dog can be given an injection of Analgin, Baralgin, Spazmolgon at home. The use of Nurofen, including for children, is not recommended due to frequent complications.

For pain in the spine

For treatment of pain in the spine, anti-inflammatory tablets for dogs are prescribed, for example: Amantadine, Gabapentin, Travmel, Maloxivet.

Effective painkillers for dogs: list, instructions for use and reviews

Sometimes our pets need help. They can also get sick, get a fracture, dislocate a joint, and so on. We do not always rush to alleviate the suffering of our friend, thinking that the illness will go away on its own. But in some cases, pain relief for a dog is simply necessary. In this article we will figure out what you can give to your pet, and what is strictly prohibited.

How to understand that pain medication is needed

The most important rule for handling medications for animals is to never decide on your own the issue of their use. The fact is that many drugs intended for people can be real poison for dogs.

Moreover, often after their adoption there is not even time left to save the animal. Therefore, before using painkillers on your dog, consult a specialist. There are hospitals and veterinary pharmacies in cities, many of which are open 24 hours a day.

In addition, there are special services for calling a veterinarian to your home - a kind of ambulance for animals.

Specialized products for dogs

There are not many specialized pain medications for dogs on the market. Veterinary pharmacies are limited to a list of four items. These are Novox, Rimadyl, Deracoxib, Meloxicam. All of them are non-steroidal drugs.

Dog breeders note that such medications practically do not cause side effects when used correctly.

However, in special cases they can cause digestive problems, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, peptic ulcers, and so on.

It is up to the veterinarian to decide what pain reliever can be given to the dog. The following names can be found in veterinary pharmacies for steroid drugs for four-legged animals: “Amantadine”, “Gabapentin” and “Tramadol”.

“Rimadyl”

It has an analgesic effect, relieves inflammation and fever. Prescribed to animals with acute diseases of the musculoskeletal system (arthritis). It is often used in the period after surgery to prevent inflammation and relieve swelling. The daily dose for an adult animal is 40 mg per kilogram of body weight.

The dose is divided into two doses, a week after the start of the course it is halved. Two weeks after the start of the course, the dog must be examined by a doctor. Owners of four-legged animals claim that there are practically no side effects from the drug, but occasionally irritation of the mucous membranes and vomiting may occur.

The dog may have an individual intolerance to the main active ingredient.

Do not give the drug to pregnant bitches and puppies. Prescribed with caution if the animal has liver, kidney or heart disease. The cost of a bottle with thirty tablets ranges around 800-900 rubles. Reviews of the drug note that after taking it, the animal may experience diarrhea. In this case, the medicine should be discontinued.

"Meloxicam"

The drug is available in the form of a suspension for oral use. Trade name: Loxicam. It has a pronounced analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effect.

Painkillers are prescribed for dogs of all breeds and cats for chronic pain in the musculoskeletal system (arthritis, arthrosis, dislocations, fractures), for damage to soft tissues, and in the postoperative period.

Contraindicated for peptic ulcers of the stomach and duodenum, individual intolerance, severe renal and liver failure and hemorrhagic syndrome.

Not for use in pregnant or lactating females, puppies and kittens under six weeks of age, or in cases of dehydration. The drug is given to animals once a day during feeding. On the first day, give 0.2 mg per kilogram of animal weight, on subsequent days - 0.1 mg.

Steroid drugs for dogs

What painkillers can be given to a dog is determined by a veterinarian. Steroid medications are prescribed quite rarely, since they are often unnecessary or the side effects are so undesirable that the use of the drug is impossible. These include the following pain relievers for dogs:

"Amantadine" - helps block pain. For dogs, it is prescribed as a treatment for arthritis, various spinal diseases and cancer. Diarrhea is often observed with its use.
“Gabapentin.” It is used for pain resulting from damaged nerve endings. Causes drowsiness in the first few days of use, then the dog gets used to this effect. It is usually prescribed as part of a combination of medications.

Tramadol is a mild pain reliever. This drug is prescribed to older dogs that experience chronic illness due to age.

Action in emergency situations

If local use of analgesics is required, Ledocaine is used. The preferred dosage form is a spray. In an emergency situation (for example, a fracture), when there is not a single veterinary pharmacy nearby, the dog can be given a regular Analgin tablet.

The calculation is made based on the ratio of one tablet per twenty kilograms of weight. Under no circumstances should dogs be given the following types of medications: Diclofenac, Ketorolac, Indomethacin.

For dogs, they are a deadly poison, cause severe damage to the liver and digestive system, and affect the nervous system.

In most cases, when these drugs are used for treatment, dogs develop severe complications in the form of hemorrhages, hematomas, internal bleeding, blood clotting is impaired, and kidney and liver failure.

And here is more information about the treatment of spinal diseases in dogs.

A wide list of painkillers for dogs allows you to choose an effective and safest remedy for pain and inflammation.

Treating a dog's spine can be quite difficult, since the diseases are varied. Most often, veterinarians detect a hernia or protrusion.

Usually, after a fracture, a dog requires games and entertainment in the near future. However, for everything to heal well, proper rehabilitation is required as well.

To eliminate pain, the dog is prescribed painkillers and antispasmodics. Dogs are successfully treated with Allochol, Dehydrocholic acid, Cholenzyme.

Types of pain medications for dogs

It can sometimes be very difficult to find specialized medications for dogs even in a veterinary pharmacy. As a last resort, you can resort to the use of drugs in the form of injections and tablets intended for people . In this case, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the dosage, since a dose of medicine that is harmless to humans can be fatal to a pet.

Drug groups

The first group of drugs that can be used to treat a pet includes nutraceuticals . They contain amino acids, extracts of medicinal herbs, antioxidants, minerals and fatty acids. They have virtually no contraindications, thanks to their essentially harmless composition, and are used mainly to relieve joint pain.

, non-steroidal drugs are quite effective painkillers . This group includes ibuprofen, aspirin and naproxen. In addition to the analgesic effect, they also have an anti-inflammatory effect. These drugs can also cause a number of complications, so it is better not to use them without the recommendation of a veterinarian.

Steroid drugs can be used not only as painkillers, but also as anti-inflammatory drugs. They are effective, but with prolonged use they can lead to side effects. They are also not advisable to use without consulting a veterinarian.

Narcotic painkillers , and opioids, are completely prohibited to be given to a dog without a veterinarian’s prescription. They are prescribed only in very serious cases, namely for pain caused by a tumor or severe arthritis. Side effects of these medications include drowsiness, inhibited dog behavior, and numbness.
