Well thank God my dog is ok.

Dry heave is not good. At least give him food so the food can soak up some of the pills them make him puke.

What time did this happen(time zone)? what is the dog doing now?

All this yaking back and forth.......so

if the dog dead or not????????

If so.......you are about the dumbest person alive.

Dogs are like kids.........when you have them you have to make your house pet/kid safe.

Hope the dog isn't dead but ,man........use the brain GOD gave you next time....and put your pills and his pills in a secure place.

What about that syrup of ipecac crap? Could he go to the grocery store and get the dog that stuff? can dogs take that? That stuff works like a charm on people as far as making them barf out.

Best course of action ? Just put him in the car and take him to the vet. Milling around trying to prevent absorbtion long after it had already happened, with something from the cupboard, that pets are more then likely not going to take with ease, is useless.

I know you mean well, but kinda have to get real here.

MY Vet said to put up the food, so i did. My REAL point is i am so disorganized. I wish to do right but i fail... as do you all...I took these dogs out of sure death... and i gave them a maybe god life. It is hard to like your self when you feel that you fail.... most EVERY one knows what i feel,,,

The first step in treatment is to eliminate the poison from your dog's stomach by making it vomit. The second step is to delay absorption of the poison from the dog's intestinal tract by coating it with a substance that binds it. This is followed by a laxative to speed elimination.

Note: Do not induce vomiting or give charcoal by mouth if your dog is severely depressed, comatose, unable to swallow or experiencing seizures. Before proceeding, consult Vomiting, How to Induce in this chapter.

How to Delay or Prevent Absorption

1.Mix activated charcoal (one tablet to 10-cc water). Give one teaspoonful per two pounds body weight and follow with a pint of water. Depending upon the dog's condition, this may need to be given by stomach tube. Veterinary assistance usually is required.

2. Thirty minutes later, give sodium sulphate (Glauber's salt), one teaspoonful per ten pounds body weight, or Milk of Magnesia, one teaspoonful per five pounds body weight.

Note:If these agents are not available, coat the bowel with milk, egg whites or vegetable oil and give a warm water enema.

At least give him some vegetable oil, milk or egg whites!

WHAT!!!!?????? YOU MEAN YOU STILL HAVEN'T TAKEN THE DOG TO THE VET OR VET ER HOSPITAL??????????

GOOD GAWD MAN..........HOW DAM STUPID CAN YOU GET?????? IF YOU REALLY LOVE THE DOG FOR GOD SAKE TAKE HIM TO THE VET TO GET HIS STOMACH PUMPED OUT.

I SWEAR! STUPID PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BREED OR HAVE ANIMALS.

OP try to stop bashing yourself and get something into the dog to absorb the poisons

OP, everyone here has made some type of mistake and have paid for it in one way or anther. The nasty ass people criticizing you are still feeling bad for their own mistakes and feel the need to project it to you. Dont pay attention to them.

If you have not taken the dog to the vet you need to do it ASAP!

It is good to know your closet emergency vet.

Mine is 35 minutes away, I know this because that's where I had to take him Easter Sunday night when he got into something(?) that made his lips swell.

It was an allergic reaction and he's a Pug so he doesn't have much throat and I was terrified his throat would swell shut--He REFUSED a piece of hotdog with a Benedryl in it, so I knew he was hurting.

^^ THIS ^^

OP, so you live 45 min away from help, time is of the essence! get in the car and take him to emergency care, NOW. its the ONLY option for your buddy now

Recon Doc, is the dog already dead, or dying?

If not, yes, we all know what it is to fail; to not feel good about a choice we've made, an action we've taken or failed to take.

You have a chance to change that. You want to do what is right. The dog needs a vet. What you've said doesn't quite make sense. Just curious, are you drinking and not able to take the dog? Is it lack of money?

45 miles is not that far to get help for an animal. If it's a money issue, PM me with the vet's phone number, and I'll take care of the bill.

DO you all even READ the posts? He HAS vomited 3 x. I live on a ranch that is 45 miles away.....look up 4 miles SW of Arlington. Wy. I did not FEED this dog the pills. who the hell knew that he would get on a table and KNOW the yummy pills? He knocked the pills off and chewed the cap off. Do i fell bad? well, duh.
I called the vet, and he said make him puke... i did.
I guess i am posting HERE, as it is the closest thing i have to a venting board.,

Dog kibble is some of the worst stuff...dogs are carnivores...I have a wolfdog who is allergic to dog kibbles that have high amts of corn or filler...he gets major diarrhea...raw meat fixed it up...so now he gets some kibble, and raw meats....

Quit Whineing You SOB! I told you to burn some toast and get it down him, and all you have done is f.......n whine. You stupid SOB!

Umm nines. yes i have had three shots after i had seen what he had done I called the vet when i first saw what had happened . He told me what to do, and i did so; He said to give the Dogs hydrogen pyroxide and see my regular vet in the AM. and i will do so. i need no money...thank you though.

How is he doing now?

How is he doing now?

your posts sound more about you than your dog

if you can move over a bit out of the spotlight..

if your dog puked it out, should be fine, especially at 2 and the better the health the better the chances

you can also give the dog cheese, or anything with vitamin K..it binds to any poison (i.e. overdose)/ pulls it out and helps pass it through

Sir, i did not even SEE that. That is a great idea to make charcoal. As he has bitten me already twice i will put on my gloves.

It happened, i think about form 5pm to 6pm. usa mountain standard time. He actually is looking at me and wagging his tail. He is on the bed laying on the comforter that he has puked on 3 x/. You guys are morans if you think i was careless. This is a blue heeler that has watched me give his pal buddy pills for about 13 days. He watches me and he is very smart. If i had at all thought he knew what the heck was up, i would have hid them better. He knocked over a table and chewewd the top off.
I really DO feel bad enough. If you need to make yourselves feel better by knocking me... STOP, i am already low on self esteem and think i have killed one of the only best friends that i have.

I can see where it sounds more about me...I feel like a failure for letting the dog get to the pills. i do not like myself very much..

Thankyou for telling me about the cheese... i gave him about a third pound of cheddar. I just poured some olive oil in some sardines and he ate it.

It may not only be a matter of time, but a matter of money. OP may not have the thousands of dollars it could take to save this dog. That doesn't mean he doesn't love the dog and desperately hope to save the dog. But rushing to an emergency vet clinic is not an option for a lot of people.

My apologies. I did not see this response before I posted last.

At this point, if he can eat a third a pound of cheese, he's probably going to be fine! Stop kicking yourself!

Thats what i was thinking...hes probably going..."Man I need to raid those pill bottles more...look at all this attentiong!"

Thank you VERY much for your empathy/sympathy. I have money but i guess some folks have never heard of Wyoming. For me to get back to the town that has a vet i have to drive 2 hours and 45 minutes. look up the white ranch on a usgs map.

The vet said that i did the only thing i could do tonight..... make him puke... and i did. tomorrow i WILL take him in.
and i am not 45 MINUTES in.. i am 45 MILES... and 5/6 of is is dirt county roads.

We're talking about a blue heeler, evidently. Smart, smart dog. He's going to spend the rest of his life trying to make his breath smell like Rimadyl again ;)

When I was a kid, we took the Great American Road Trip. All I remember of Wyoming was flat nothingness for as far as I could see ;)

He puked, he's eating cheese and oil and sardines - in fact, being a smart dog, he probably knows he owns your ass right now and he'll expect bacon and eggs in bed tomorrow :)

As for empathy/sympathy, you're quite welcome. I love my pets very much, and when they are in trouble, I too have been wracked with indecision and guilt. It's easy to say, take that animal to a vet right now! But not always so easy to do so.

I wish the best for you and Brew and the gimp (did you mention his name?)
