1. If by "old man" you mean your dog, I'm sorry, but ibuprofen is toxic to dogs.

Please do not give more. Effects are dose-related so just don't give more. NSAIDs for dogs are not the same as those used in humans. I'm sorry I have not seen or followed any earlier posts but surely your vet gave some specific pain meds. You should contact them for additional medication if they are not working--perhaps some mild anxiety medication like trazodone or a centrally acting pain med that can be used with NSAIDs like gabapentin.

I know how hard it can be to see your best bud in pain. Best wishes and do contact your veterinarian immediately in the morning. If in doubt, please call the local veterinary emergency clinic before giving anything else.
