These drugs inhibit prostaglandins that regulate renal blood flow, causing severe damage, particularly at high doses or in dehydrated animals. This report presents the case of a 13-year-old male Golden Retriever that developed acute kidney injury (AKI) following ibuprofen administration, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate clinical management. Treatment included fluid therapy and pharmacological agents aimed to alleviate clinical signs and restore renal function. It was concluded that, although the patient showed clinical improvement, NSAID-induced acute kidney injury in veterinary medicine requires continuous monitoring using specific biomarkers, which allows for early detection assessment of renal damage. La administración de antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINEs) de uso humano en animales de compañía representa un riesgo crítico en medicina veterinaria debido a su nefrotoxicidad, agravada frecuentemente por la automedicación por parte de los tutores. Estos fármacos inhiben las prostaglandinas que regulan el flujo sanguíneo renal, provocando daños severos, especialmente en dosis altas o animales deshidratados. En este reporte se describe el caso de un canino macho de raza Golden Retriever de 13 años que desarrolló lesión renal aguda (LRA) tras la administración de ibuprofeno, destacando así la importancia de un diagnóstico precoz y un manejo adecuado. El tratamiento consistió en fluidoterapia y productos farmacológicos para mitigar signos clínicos y restaurar la función renal. Se concluyó que, aunque el paciente presentó una mejora clínica, la lesión renal aguda inducida por AINEs en veterinaria requiere una monitorización constante mediante el uso de biomarcadores específicos, lo que permite una detección temprana del daño renal.
