When dogs or cats ingest naproxen, it can result in severe gastrointestinal ulcers (which can perforate and rupture the intestines) and acute kidney failure.

How long does naproxen stay in a dog’s system?
Initiate intravenous fluid diuresis. Because of the long half-life of naproxen in dogs, the APCC recommends twice maintenance fluids for at least 72 hours. If results of the renal panel are within the reference range 72 hours later, gradually decrease the rate of fluid administration over the next 24 hours.
What are the side effects of giving a dog Aleve?
A single dose of Aleve (as low as 2-mg/lb) can cause side effects, but higher doses can cause rapid kidney failure. Depending on the size of the dog and how much Aleve was consumed, side effects usually appear within 2 to 24 hours. In some cases, kidney failure can occur within 24 hours.
Can a dog eat an antidepressant pill?
Maybe you accidentally dropped your antidepressant pill while you were taking out your daily dose and your dog, always on the lookout for a tasty treat, ate it.

Can you give a dog activated charcoal for Aleve?
Activated charcoal only works if it physically comes into contact with Aleve in the stomach or intestines. It binds to the toxins and prevents the body from absorbing any more of the poison. Unfortunately, it is only effective if it is given within a couple hours. After a few hours, treating your dog will be much more difficult.
When do the side effects of Aleve start?

What should I do if my dog ate a naproxen tablet?
I see that your dog is a dachshund, so assuming that he weight 15-20 lbs, even a single naproxen tablet could potentially be a problem. I would recommend taking him to an emergency clinic right away – if he ate it within the past couple of hours, they may be able to induce vomiting and keep any of it from being absorbed.
