My puppy ate Vyvanse. What should I do if local vets are closed?

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.

That is nearly 6 times the dose for his size, I would seek out emergency care from your vet or clinic right away. You can also contact the Pet Poison Helpline - https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ - (there is a fee for this service) for more information, however, if he is showing any signs of illness (extreme lethargy, confusion, vomiting, diarrhea, etc) seeking care right away is best.

This is a potentially toxic dose and I would recommend seeing an emergency veterinarian. Alprazolam (Xanax) can cause sedation and disorientation or hyperexcitability. At high doses it can effect the blood pressure or lead to muscle tremors. Since you’re not sure if she ate the pill you could also contact the Pet Poison Helpline - they might be able to better determine if her symptoms are consistent t with ingestion and can recommend whether or not you need to seek treatment. http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com

Duke is 80lbs, so about 36.4kg. He ingested 0.55mg/kg of Lexapro. With doses as low as 0.3mg/kg, you can see incoordination and lethargy, although there is typically no toxic damage to organs. To be safe, if Duke ate the Lexapro within the past 2 hours, I would take him to your vet now to induce vomiting. If it's been longer than 2 hours, you will have to monitor him for signs of toxicity (tremors, incoordination, seizures, lethargy), and if you see any of those signs, take him to a vet right away.

This is a very high dose for a 20lb dog and some effects are likely to be seen. If it was eaten within the last 90 minutes, then it's best to take him to a vet so they can induce vomiting and give other treatment to prevent absorption of the drug. At this dose he is in danger of having tremors and possibly seizures, it's best to take him to the vet as soon as possible for treatment and monitoring. I hope that helps and all is well with Griffin.

Take your dog to your veterinarian or a 24-hour emergency veterinary clinic immediately! This is an emergency! Amphetamine poisoning in dogs affects the central nervous system, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and respiratory systems. Clinical signs may include agitation, dilated pupils, tremors, seizures, elevated heart rate, high blood pressure, panting, drooling, vomiting, and diarrhea. Aggressive treatment, including decontamination (if appropriate), IV fluids, sedation, thermoregulation (and cooling measures, if needed), electrocardiogram/blood pressure monitoring, and symptomatic/supportive care, is recommended.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Twitch. Oh no, that's not good. Given that he is showing these signs, I suspect he did eat the Adderall. This is a medical emergency, you need to take him into a vet immediately to get this treated. Best of luck.
