Is it advisable to give atropine as an antidote when given tick bath with diclorvos?
Atropine is not necessary when you do not overdose your dog with dichlorvos (ie stick to the instructions of dilution). However it may be safer to use a commercially available tick spot-on or pyrethrin to fight ticks.

My bullmastiff was diagnosed with a cornea scratch 1 week ago. She came home with tobra and atropine drops. We stopped the tobra today since it said for 1 week. Still on the atropine which I'm not excited about but she is still really spasming her ey
Atropine, when used in the eye, relaxes the ciliary body, the muscle that controls pupil size. In this way, it often helps to treat the pain associated with corneal abrasions or corneal ulcers. It does not cause the eyelid to spasm. What you are seeing is called blepharospasm, and it's a response to ocular pain. I would say that if Ripley is having blepharospasm at this point, it indicates to me that there is still pain associated with the initial abrasion. Typically we treat corneal injuries such as she has until we have rechecked them and are sure that they have completely resolved. I would recommend getting her back on the tobramycin and continuing the atropine until you are able to get her checked; preferably Friday or over the weekend.

5 lds consumed 15 mg of amitriptyline she's responsive she can move her head move around some with some mild shakes and she did throw up
I'm sorry to hear Holly ate something she shouldn't! It's good to know she is responsive. I would strongly recommend contacting the Pet Poison Helpline for further information about this medication and to determine if the amount she ingested is cause for concern. She is a very small little dog. If they advise that toxicity is possible at this dose they will provide you with a case number that you can give to your veterinarian. Your vet can then call the helpline themselves and they will be advised if any treatments and antidotes that need to be administered. Holly make need to stay in the hospital, and receive IV fluids and activated charcoal. Your vet may also recommend some baseline bloodwork and this may need to be monitored in the future. Good luck-I hope Holly improves soon!

My 15 lbs chihuahua mix may have eaten a 5 or 10 mg off brand adderall he pacing and pupil are large and none reactive to the flashlight
Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco 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.
