My dog ate Adderall. He's pacing and pupils are dilated. Help!

Contact your veterinarian right away. Adderall falls within a group of drugs known as amphetamines. According to the PetPoisonHelpline website, ingestion of amphetamines in dogs can produce the following symptoms: agitation, aggression, panting, sedation, elevated heart rate, hypertension, drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, and seizures. Treatment may include decontamination (if appropriate), IV fluids, thermoregulation, heart and blood pressure monitoring, and supportive care.

Take your dog to your veterinarian or a 24-hour emergency veterinary clinic immediately! This is an emergency! Amphetamine poisoning in dogs affects the central nervous system, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and respiratory systems. Clinical signs may include agitation, dilated pupils, tremors, seizures, elevated heart rate, high blood pressure, panting, drooling, vomiting, and diarrhea. Aggressive treatment, including decontamination (if appropriate), IV fluids, sedation, thermoregulation (and cooling measures, if needed), electrocardiogram/blood pressure monitoring, and symptomatic/supportive care, is recommended.

Vyvanse, clinical signs can be seen at 1 mg/kg in dogs; severe clinical signs (e.g., such as tremors, seizures, etc.) can be seen at 10 mg/kg. With amphetamine toxicosis, secondary stimulation of certain body systems can result in significant clinical signs: CNS (e.g., agitation, mydriasis, tremors, seizures), cardiovascular (e.g., tachycardia, hypertension), GI (e.g., vomiting, diarrhea, hypersalivating), and respiratory (e.g., panting). If your dog ingested a toxic dose, you must find an emergency vet and take him there urgently.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm very concerned that Sony could become markedly hypotensive (very low blood pressure) after taking these pills. Given that he is a chihuahua, the mg/kg dose that he ingested is most likely a VERY large overdose and could be fatal. I recommend attempting to make him vomit as soon as possible by administering hydrogen peroxide to him orally. You may give him a teaspoon (you may have to use a turkey baster to help get it in his mouth) to try to make him vomit. If he does not vomit after 10 minutes, you may try giving him another teaspoon. Ultimately if this is unsuccessful, I recommend bringing him to your nearest emergency veterinarian as soon as possible. That way, a veterinarian can use medication that is injectable to induce vomiting. He/she can also administer medications to try to reduce absorption of this medication and prevent it from having its dangerous effects. Again, I am very concerned about Sony. I hope this is helpful.

Thank you for contacting Pet Coach with your question about Annie. With a quick lick, the odds are she did not ingest enough to cause a problem, but I will give you symptoms of Adderall toxicity just in case. They include agitation, sudden aggression, vomiting, diarrhea, dilated pupils, seizures, tremors, panting, and drooling. If you see any of those signs, rush her into a vet immediately. Best of luck.

This is a very high dose for a 20lb dog and some effects are likely to be seen. If it was eaten within the last 90 minutes, then it's best to take him to a vet so they can induce vomiting and give other treatment to prevent absorption of the drug. At this dose he is in danger of having tremors and possibly seizures, it's best to take him to the vet as soon as possible for treatment and monitoring. I hope that helps and all is well with Griffin.

If you suspect your pet ingested meth, please take her to your nearest emergency clinic right away for life saving treatment. It is unfortunate that this happened outside of your supervision, but the most important thing is to make sure that Gizmo is going to be ok. I do hope that your fur baby is able to make a full and speedy recovery soon! Best wishes and take care.
