crocin ( read as cro sin )

Crocin .. the most common headache / bodyache / fever pill, very commonly uadminisitered by pet owners for the same reasons .. without knowing that very few human drugs can be used safely in pets ..
its tragic that crocin can cause death in pets .. last week a weak rabbit died due to crocin toxicity .. paracetamol the drug contained in crocin is nephrotoxic ( toxic to the kidneys ) in cats , dogs ( in the long run )and almost all other pets .. Administering crocin or any other drug containing paracetamol would be harmful to your pet ..
kindly always consult your vet before giving any home remedy for any mild fever to your pet .. your home remedy could just shorten / fasten its journey with you .. best of luck

  1. My pup is one month old. He came in the house few hours ago. By night started shivering, later vomiting. I gave crocin kids syrup to him. Hope it's safe
