My dog drank human medicine. What should I do to help her?

Hello Priya. I am sorry you are having this scare. There are many types of medication and they all have different side effects so without more information, it’s impossible to predict how this will affect your puppy. I recommend to post again with the name of the medication, how many your puppy may have eaten and the strength of the medication. We will be watching for your post and will help if we can.

It really depends on the the type of medication and dosage whether this is a concern or not. I reccomend reposting with the name of the drug and the dosage if you can find it. A picture of the medication label would also be helpful. We will be able to better assist you when we have this info.

Oh dear! We would need to know what specific type of medication she ate, the amount, and her weight in order to be able to answer this question. Feel free to post again with more information, and we would be happy to try and help.

We would need a little more information to help. If this is in response to a previous question you asked it is unfortunately not possible for us to access the previous question. If you can repost your question with a little more detail we might be able to help.

It depends the medication Chubs is taking, as some medication must be given with food. Please post again with the name of the medication she is taking so I or another expert can advise you if she can take her medication without eating.

The active ingredient of Vetmedin is Pimobendan. This is a medication that is also used in humans, therefore I suggest you call a human poison control or your doctor or a hospital to find out what to expect and whether the dosage is harmless or not. From articles I found the normal human dose is 2.5 mg, so 5mg is double and I strongly suggest your consult with a doctor. We are veterinary doctors and not qualified to assess this. Please call your nearest hospital.

This type of intoxication can be extremely dangerous and lead to serious consequences. Side effects would depend on the dose. Please repost your question and give us more informations about the quantity ingested to have more precise answers from us. In case the quantity was unknown, an immediate check up would be essential.
