yes medicine works the same on dogs. for example, feed him some ex-lax, he will shite diarrhea all over the place.

while this is true in principle, dogs dont metabolize drugs like humans do.

some will kill them, like ibuprofen.

No true. Never give a dog Tylenol or Advil. Tylenol will cause thrombocytopenia, a blood disorder, and one dose can easily be fatal. Advil can cause kidney failure.

I know this a message board but damn that was reckless statement.

Doses are completely different though.

Also, I was always told to be sure not to give decongestants.

They can but limit to maybe 1mg per 10-15 pounds. Tryptophan and lemon balm are ok to give them as well.

Or caffeine. A dogs heart can't handle speed very well all.

It's a PDE5 inhibitor, of course it's considered medicine

Call the vet. They can tell you, or maybe they'll prescribe something.

Yep. I'm surprised they didn't send you home with Ace.
