We discuss dangerous medications for pets, focusing on common drugs that pet owners may not realize can harm their animals and natural alternatives for managing health issues.
• Ivermectin can be toxic to dogs with the MDR1 gene mutation, commonly found in herding breeds
• UC Davis offers a $55 saliva test to determine if your dog has the MDR1 mutation
• Human medications like ibuprofen and Tylenol can be extremely toxic to dogs and cats
• Dog flea medications containing permethrin are highly toxic to cats, even through casual contact
• Metronidazole, commonly prescribed for diarrhea, can cause serious side effects, including seizures and neurological issues
• For diarrhea, consider fasting the dog for 24 hours with water and bone broth instead of medication
• Check if raw-fed dogs with loose stools have enough bone in their diet or have consumed too many organ treats
• The body often eliminates what it doesn't need—support natural processes rather than immediately suppressing symptoms
