Hello!

Regarding your health concern, just taking one dose of Vetprofen may not cause harm but it is important that you let your physician know of the incident. Vetprofen like you said is a pain killer like Tylenol used for animals. But mechanism of action of the drug is different. It may effect our blood clotting system-which is of concern for you right now. It might be good to get some blood work done.

I hope I have answered your question. Please let me know if you have any further concerns.
