My dog ate pseudoephedrine (Reactine). What symptoms to watch for?

If Kash is really 170lbs, then this would not be enough to cause toxic effects, but I would have to verify that he is truly 170lbs, because this would be record weight for this breed. A normal lab would ideally weigh about 60-80lbs; and at this weight there would be a concern about toxicity. Considering this, it's best to take cash to a vet, so they can induce vomiting and prevent absorption of this drug. The sooner he goes the better. Signs of toxicity are hyperthermia, vomiting, agitation, dilated pupils, fast heart rate, tremors and seizures. I hope that helps and all is well with Kash.

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/

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. For that amount he could have issues with both the Acetominophen (30mg/kg) which could cause KCS, which is a problem with the eyes. So for this you will want to get a product like 'Refresh', or some other eye lubricant with no medication and lube his eyes twice a day for the next couple weeks. The biggest concern is the decongestant. If the box says the ingredient is phenylephrine 5mg then you shouldn't be concerned, however if the ingredient is pseudoephedrine then you will want to have Gideon into the vet right away. Otherwise, monitor for signs of anxiousness, hyperactivity, inability to settle, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, or increased drinking and peeing. If these occur then go to your vet. If your dog has any clinical signs, or any other underlying disease conditions (which could affect how these drugs affect him, such as liver or kidney disease), then I would bring him right away to the vet. To be extra precautious you could take him to a vet to get him to vomit (remove any remaining toxin in his stomach) however this isn't as effective for the liquid capsules as they absorb quickly, and activated charcoal which will bind any other toxin left in his stomach. Best of luck with Gideon.

Excedrin is highly toxic to dogs due to the aspirin, caffeine, and acetaminophen in it. All three of these ingredients are toxic to dogs. You will see vomiting, and there will be other damage that may take days for symptoms to appear, such as liver damage and GI ulcers. If your dog ate excedrin, she needs to see a vet immediately. I do not know how much she ate, how much she weighs, or the strength of the pills she has eaten, so I can't say for certain how long it will take for side effects to appear. I can say for certain she does need to see a vet now because this drug is toxic to dogs.

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.

As long as he is asymptomatic, there is no cause for concern. Monitor for lethargy, restlessness, hyperactivity, panting, increased heart rate or tremors. Symptoms typically appear within an hour or two of ingestion or exposure. See your veterinarian or take Monty to the nearest veterinary ER if necessary.

If Noelani had ingested either meth or coke this morning, I would certainly have expected signs to develop by now (8 hours later). If the bag was well sealed and ingested whole, it may pass in her GI tract without her absorbing anything, but it is always safest to have her examined. We commonly see significant excitation with these drugs which can progress to heart or nervous system problems including seizures. If Noelani starts developing any signs of hyperexcitability, I would recommend having her seen by a veterinarian immediately. If you have questions about potential toxicities, my best recommendation is to contact ASPCA Poison Control Center. https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Noelani is fine. Thanks for using PetCoach.
