Accidental Ingestion of People Medications...

Hi all -- You probably don't know this, until last night I know I didn't -- but my boxer got into my meds. She's never counter surfed before, but somehow she got them from the back of the counter. Fortunately, I knew it had been 40 minutes since she got them -- during the time I was out walking the other dog.

I called the emergency vet clinic, who suggested I give her HYDROGEN PEROXIDE to induce vomiting and then call the ASPCA Animal Control Hotline 1.888.426.4435. ($50.00 fee required.) The peroxide worked almost immediately and I didn't have to call poison control.

Pass this information onto  others and, just so you know, the local emergency vet clinic couldn't answer any questions about dogs ingesting 'people meds.'
