My dog drank vodka. What should I do if I can't reach a vet?

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. Oggy will most likely be ok as the alcohol has likely since been absorbed since ingestion. I would monitor him for any signs of depression, lethargy, seizures inappetance and contact your vet if you see any of these changes. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Licking or ingesting some vomit likely won't hurt Bruno, so blood work isn't really necessary. If he ingested enough to show visible signs of illness such as staggering, confusion, or weakness, then bringing him to your vet for care is best, however long term effects from a single ingestion are unlikely.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Symptoms can be seen after ingestion of less than 1.3 ml of rubbing alcohol per pound of body weight. If he ingested a toxic amount, signs may include vomiting with or without blood, retching, abdominal pain, central nervous system (CNS) depression, decreased respiratory rate, and coma. He may appear drunk and the breath often has an alcohol odor. If you see any of these signs or are concerned about Rocket, he should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible for treatment. I hope this is helpful!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Your dog licking a very small amount of alcohol should not cause him any serious harm, although depending on the alcohol content it may cause him to become slightly drunk. This can cause wobbliness/ataxia, lethargy, vomiting. If you notice any of these signs, he should be seen by a veterinarian. Otherwise, he should be OK, and I recommend requesting that your mom not leave any alcohol within Chewy's reach! I hope this is helpful!

This may cause some GI upset which may result in vomiting and/or diarrhea. If it is limited to a couple of bouts and she's back to normal in 12 hours or so, you don't need to worry. Just keep an eye on her for the next 12-24 hours, and if she develops vomiting or diarrhea that is severe or continuous, or if she becomes increasingly lethargic, seek emergency care.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Winnie. Dogs can feel the affects of alcohol similar to how people do. Being much smaller though, they are more easily affected. That being said, if she is acting fine two hours after the incident, then she will likely be ok. It would not be possible to induce vomiting as she ingested such a small amount. Monitor her closely for the next couple of hours. If she acts intoxicated, stumbles around or vomits, you will want to seek emergency care. I hope this information helps!

I know this is a very worrying time for you, but you did completely the right thing in taking the dog to the vet so quickly. If you had him vomit within 40 minutes then the majority of the gastric contents and the noxious substance will have come up. Sometimes I would also administer activated charcoal but it isn't strictly necessary when they vomit a good lot up. The medication that the vet gave you will help to line the stomach in case the substance has damaged the lining, the other medication is a liver support as it deals with a lot of potentially toxic substances. There really isn't much more you can do aside from being vigilant. If you knew exactly what the dog ingested sometimes other drugs can be administered such as vitamin k in rat poisoning. However your dog should be absolutely fine considering how quick you acted. You could feed Blue some liver as it helps with regenerating red blood cells etc. Best of luck, if you have any concerns at all please ask!
