My dog ate PROIN. Is it toxic? What symptoms should I expect?

Havoc should be absolutely fine after ingesting the Proin tablet! He ingested approximately 4.4 mg/kg (milligrams per kilogram of body weight), and more serious signs of toxicity usually occur with doses over 15 mg/kg. There is a chance that Havoc may experience agitation, vomiting, decreased heart rate or elevated blood pressure. While these signs generally resolve within 24 hours of ingestion, it would be ideal to take Havoc to his vet for an exam and blood pressure measurement. I hope this helps!

Hi. She would have to call poison control unfortunately. We can't advise a dose of H2O2 without seeing the pet. Poison control 2ill be able to let you know if vomiting and or other treatment is needed. Good luck

That is not a common side effect of the medication. I do recommend a veterinary exam and lab tests to determine if she has a urinary infection, kidney problem or even diabetes or other metabolic problem that can change the amount of drinking and urination. Once they get a reason then they can start treatment that could consist of a diet change and/or other medications.

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about Brittany's troubles. I am not sure if Petco has full veterinary services, as that is the appropriate avenue for eventually prescribing proin. When I see a dog for urinary incontinence issues, I start with a full blood and urine panel and a culture of the urine to rule out infections or any other health issues. I also will check the urinary bladder with an ultrasound and take a few xrays to make sure we don't have bladder or kidney stones, or cancer of some kind causing the incontinence. Once I've ruled out any other causes, and I know I need to use proin, I check a blood pressure to make sure that's normal too (because proin can cause side effecrs with that). I'll start a patient on the recommended dose and then recheck to make sure it's working. A couple weela after starting I'll usually check blood pressure, and then once more 4-6 weeks out. At that time I'll often check a mini panel and just double check some blood values. If all is well, i will just do periodic blood pressure checks throughout the year and labwork as needed for senior pets. I hope this answer is helpful!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about E. Low blood pressure is the most common sign of toxicity. Other signs include lethargy, excess salivation, increased heart rate, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, and cough. If you see any of those signs, rush him into a vet immediately. I hope this helps!

Incurin should not be given to dogs who are experiencing polyuria (increased urination) and polydipsia (increased drinking, while Proin should be used with caution in dogs with kidney insufficiency. If Athena has kidney failure, I would discuss with your vet the appropriateness of her taking this drugs, as they may not be indicated due to her kidney failure.

Since they are both the same size there is no concern for toxicity here. Just monitor Jack for any GI upset, otherwise he should be fine. The medication should be out of his system after 12-24 hrs. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Take care.
