Best Answer

The toxic dose of paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is generally considered to be greater than 7.5 to 10 grams in adults, or 150 mg/kg in children. Exceeding this amount can lead to severe liver damage and potentially fatal overdose. It is important to always follow recommended dosages and seek medical attention immediately if an overdose is suspected.

How much paracetamol to give a springer spaniel?

Paracetamol is the trade name for acetominophen, which should not be used in canines. Dogs are very sensitive to the side effects of human pain medications and you can cause a fatal stomach ulcer with these drugs. If you believe your dog would benefit from pain medication, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian. There are safe pain medications for dogs, but you will need a veterinary prescription to get them.
