My 50lb dog ate estradiol pills. Is it dangerous for her health?

A 10mg tablet for a 48lb (0.48mg/lb) dog would not be expected to create any complications (dosages as high as 4mg/lb are used in emergency and severe cases). She may have an increased thirst but otherwise is unlikely to have any ill effects. Continue to monitor just in case, any vomiting/diarrhea/bloody stool should be reported to your vet

It is unlikely that this will cause any damage or side effects. T4 hormone will be temporarily suppressed, without any noticeable side effects. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Since it has been several hours, inducing vomiting will not help. Dogs take higher doses of thyroid medications than humans do, so it is likely that Roxy will be fine. He may develop some stomach upset. Monitor for rapid heart rate, panting and restlessness or hyperactivity. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER. You can also contact the Pet Poison Helpline ( https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ ). They are staffed by toxicologists who have more detailed information. There is a fee for the call. https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/thyroid-medications/

While I would certainly recommend calling aspca poison control, I do not believe that 5mg of warfarin exceeds the threshold for a toxic dose based on a 6 kilogram body weight. According to the academy of vet pharmacists, a 5 mg per kg dose is the threshold meaning that about 30 mg is needed to show clinical signs in most cases. However every patient is different and if your dog has any other issues or takes other meds this could be affected. Hope this helps.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! So an anti-inflammatory dose of steroid would be about 8.5 mg and an immune modulating dose would be about 17mg. So you have given a very high dose of steroid and not sure why you gave this to Dixie. You should always consult a veterinarian before treating your own pet for this reason. Probably one dose this high won't hurt but steroids have some very potent effects and side effects on the body. I would monitor her for any signs of illness like vomiting, diarrhea (both with or without blood), lethargy, decreased appetite, etc. If these develop I would call your veterinarian and discuss what is going on. You will see an increased thirst, increased urination, increased appetite, increased panting, and possibly some behavioral changes. Watch her closely and always consult with your vet before medicating your own pet.

I am not sure what your pets weight is, but this medication is given at a dosage of 1-2 mg/kg and as high as 3mg/kg daily dosage can be given to pets. I also don’t know what mg dosage your pets Lovan is, since this medication comes in about 3 different dosages. 1 lb=2.2 kg’s. So a 20 lb dog can take around 30 mg of medication daily. As far as toxicity is concerned, around 15.9mg/kg daily dosage can lead to toxicity in dogs. I hope this helps. If you see signs of toxicity (lethargy, vomiting, vocalization, etc) in your pet then it’s best to take her to your local vet to be treated symptomatically and detoxed. Best wishes and take care.

A single dose of this size of Vetoryl will likely pose no serious risk of toxicity. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea or loss of appetite. See your veterinarian if any of these symptoms develop.
