Call your vet and poison control now. Aspca poison control 888-426-4435. Give 1/2 tsp hydrogen peroxide and make sure he vomits up the tablet. You have less than 1 hr after ingestion to do this. The sooner the better.

I agree Marilyn. Vet and poison control ASAP

BabyGirl Rosie · 03-20-2013, 05:54 PM

You are working against time!!! If you do not have hydrogen peroxide, dont pitz around worrying about it....go immediately to your ER vet....as soon as you get there tell them what he ate and how long it has been since he ate it....they will have time to pump his tummy....

Thank goodness you knew that, I had no idea !

Praying that this little one comes out of this unharmed.

Watch for lethargy, respiratory depression, and do not let him aspirate! (Vomit and breathe into the lungs) If you are still reading this, stop & get to the vet. Update us asap. Prayers...

I have that number programmed into my phone and pray that I will never have to use it. I got it from a post on YT some time ago.

This post made me think...I've bought a first aid kit for dogs but know it doesn't have stuff like hydrogen peroxide in it. Does anyone know if there is a "what should be in a dogs first aid kit" post??? I can't search for some reason on my phone to look it up!

I do have hydrogen piroxide...3 percent. The poison control line cost 65 dollars ..I dont' even have 10 bucks in my account. I' will give him the Hydrogen proxide and see. I'm not 100 percent sure that he ate it but I can't find it anywhere on the floor and I've searched with hands and flashlight and it's nowhere to be found. I guess the hyd pryoxide won't hurt if he didn't eat it, right?

It will make him throw up. What about your vet? Can you call him?

bgeier · 03-20-2013, 06:17 PM

Dont' have her home phone

BabyGirl Rosie · 03-20-2013, 06:19 PM

According to the web, a typical pet dose is 0.01 to 0.05 mg per pound. At 1 mg, your baby has taken a lot. Is there an emergency vet you can call? My friends dog ate chocolate once and the ER vet told her what to do over the phone.
