My dog ate a hair relaxer. Is it an emergency? What should I do?

Please get Wesson to the nearest vet immediately, as this could be very dangerous. Call ahead to let them know you are on the way if possible so that they can prepare. You can contact pet poison control for further information after contacting your vet http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/.

I cannot answer this question for you. There is no way for me to know for sure whether or not this will cause him any distress. The dice itself is not toxic but I would be worried about it causing an obstruction in his intestinal tract. Any time a dog has eaten a foreign object, especially a small 4 pound dog, they should be evaluated by a vet. Your vet may be able to induce vomiting and get him to throw up the dice. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

I would get Lulu to a vet immediately. Depending on the type of antidepressant and the dose of it, this could cause extremely serious problems such as seizures and death. I would consider this a medical emergency. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

I would recommend taking Bailey to your local veterinary ER. These types of products can be quite irritating to the gastrointestinal tract and also have the potential to be toxic in other ways. The vet will do a thorough physical exam and look for any obvious symptoms. They may also recommend you contact the pet poison hotline to gather more information regarding treatment depending on the severity of the symptoms. At the least you can expect to be prescribed some medications to help protect Bailey’s stomach and intestines from the irritants in this product. She may need IV fluids and intensive hospital management if she develops significant gastrointestinal symptoms. Good luck, I hope Bailey comes through this ok.

No knowing what Elmo ingested make it difficult for me to tell you exactly what to do. You could call an animal poison hotline for pets with the name of the product or try to call an emergency veterinary clinic in your area. Make sure you have the product name handy. Good luck with Elmo.

Poor pup! Depending on how big your dog is, it's hard to say whether toxicity from the chocolate in the medication will be a problem. As far as the laxative itself, this will probably cause diarrhea but would not be expected to cause any serious toxicity issues. The safest bet would be to have your dog seen by a vet right away, but if this isn't possible, you will need to monitor her closely for the next 24-48 hours. If you see symptoms such as tremors, seizures, or repeated episodes of vomiting, then this would be an emergency and there would be no other option except getting her to a vet immediately.

Depending on the contents of the mask there could be a potential toxicity concern here. You should consult with a toxicologist from Pet Poison Helpline about exactly what your pet ingested to determine if and what medical care Dakota needs to ensure her safety and well-being. Pet Poison Helpline number is 855-764-7661 and their website is http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ Hopefully she will be ok.
