Two dogs presented separately to the Small Animal Hospital, University of Florida (Gainsville, FL, USA) for ingestion of ibuprofen.

Due to the severity of clinical signs, both patients were treated with charcoal haemoperfusion. The concentrations of ibuprofen in the blood of the dogs prior to treatment were 478 and 301 mg/L. During the treatment ibuprofen concentrations were reduced by 95.8% and 45.5% respectively with no treatment side effects and minimal clinical signs after treatment. Toxicity due to ingestion of ibuprofen toxicity that was successfully treated with charcoal haemoperfusion. In the cases described here minimal benefit was seen after 3 hours of treatment using one haemoperfusion cartridge. This is in contrast to a previously published report in which dogs were treated for 6 hours with two charcoal haemoperfusion cartridges. This suggests that one cartridge may be sufficient.
