Question
my bichon was chewing on a naproxen, what kind of symptoms would she have? and what do i do?
Michlyn -
The most common signs are gastro intestinal signs such as bloody stools, vomiting and inappetence. Have her examined by her doctor as soon as possible. Naproxen can cause stomach ulcers in dogs; it is urgent that you have her seen by a veterinarian.
