| Puppy eats half of a pill My puppy who is now almost nine months old, decided to go after medicine that my dad dropped on the floor. At times he listens when we say no, but supper time is a different story. The medicine is something that can be given to dogs for arthritis. Should I do anything to induce vomiting or leave him? |

| I hope by this time you called a vet about this. Even tho you say the medicine is something that can be given to dogs for arthritis, you don't know what dose is dog safe. I am not fond of inducing vomiting since years back one of my dogs almost choked to death on slimy vomit that got stuck in her throat and I had to pull it out to save her from choking to death, I would run to my vet if my dog swallowed any pill or at least would have called them, but that's just me. I don't play guessing games when it comes to my babies. I am fortunate my vet has a 24/7 fully staffed clinic, so when in doubt that's where I head. I have to assume your baby is fine today.

| Anti inflammatory meds for people can KILL dogs. Please get to a vet NOW. I wish I had seen this sooner.
