My dog ate human prostate pills. Is Cernitin pollen extract safe?

Saw Palmetto tincture has really only shown benefits in dogs with testosterone induced prostatic enlargement. This would only be in male dogs that are intact and not neutered. You indicated in your pet info that Rusty is neutered. This supplement is not likely to help him. This supplement can also be dangerous and cause kidney problems. It should be used under the supervision of a holistic veterinarian in order to make sure you are diluting it properly and not overdosing. It is also a good idea to check the kidney function first with blood work. A pet of Rusty's size should only have a maximum of about 20 mg per day and your solution is much stronger. You should take the product to your vet for guidance, but, again- it is not likely to help if your dog is already neutered.

I am sorry to hear that your pet ingested some of your diet pills. Even though the diet pills are from plant extract, you never know if this could potentially be harmful for your pet. I would recommend calling pet poison helpline to talk with a toxicologist and determine what, if any, treatment is recommended to care for you pet.

You are ok going forward with the supplements. Supplements don't have any interactions with medications that you get from your vet, which is why they are ok to sell over the counter. I do hope that Simba's prostate condition is manageable for awhile and that you can keep him comfortable. Consider getting an aspirate of the prostate if you want to know if it is cancerous or not. Best of luck and take care.

You may see some gastrointestinal upset (vomiting and/or diarrhea) in the next 4-12 hours. The ingredients should not cause anything worse. Withhold food for 12 hours then offer a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly to the regular diet afterwards. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.

These herbs are not considered toxic to dogs. Monitor for vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. If he chewed them up, they will likely pass uneventfully in the next 24 hours. See your veterinarian if any of these symptoms develop.

The maltodextrin likely won't harm him. It is a common ingredient in some canine supplements. Most fruits and vegetables, in moderation, are safe for dogs. Without knowing which herbs are in the powder, it is difficult to determine whether it is safe or not. Some herbs can be toxic to dogs.

Fortunately, this is not likely to cause any problems at all. This medication is actually used sometimes in dogs to treat prostate enlargement and other urinary issues, and this dose in a 100 lb dog is within the normal dosage range. So Bubba should be just fine :) The main side effect seen with this medication at high doses is low blood pressure - so if you see any signs of weakness or disorientation in the next few hours, you could take him to an emergency vet for a check-up to be safe.
