Aleve, aka Naproxen Sodium, belongs to the general type of drugs known as
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID). It is known to relieve pain,
inflammation, and fever. It is an over-the-counter drug presumed to be safe in
alleviating minor pains such as backache, headache, toothache, menstrual
cramps, and even minor ache caused by arthritis. Surprisingly, not only humans
experience arthritis, even dogs do. Does this mean thatAleve can also be used
in alleviating the pain caused by dog arthritis?
Dog arthritis is a degenerative disease that affects one or more joints. Dogs
with an inherited disease such as hip dysplasia, or those with joint injuries
or infections usually develop this condition. The pain caused by dog arthritis
can be very intense for some dogs. This makes it hard for them to live a normal
life, and so proper treatment and medication must be done to help alleviate the
pain.
Some dog owners believe that Aleve is safe and effective enough to relieve the
pain their dogs are experiencing, since it is just an over-the-counter drug
that is presumed to be safe both for humans and animals. However, many animal
experts have concluded that NSAIDs such as the Aleve brand can pose
life-threatening damage to pets such as cats and dogs.
Although some veterinarians prescribe Aleve to dogs experiencing
arthritis-caused pain, more and more animal experts are saying that Aleve,
along with other NSAIDs, have major side effects that can lead to fatal kidney
damage, liver damage, and stomach ulcers in dogs. The toxicity of this drug is
very high in pets that even at very low doses, it may poison them.
