| Wobie ate a Pill! I saw Wobie chewing on something so I got it out of his mouth. It was my little sister's 20 mg Fluoxetine pill (I think its like a generic form of prozac). When I got it out, the gel capsule part was still intact, just with a tiny hole in it, and a lot of the powder stuff inside spilled out when I picked it up. But I'm thinking some of the powder came out inside his mouth. Its a really small dose to begin with, because my sister is only 10. What should I do? I'm so worried.

| He will probably be fine but I would call the vet to make sure. Watch him close for any changes. |

| Some dogs are prescribed prozac anyway, so if he didn't get much into his mouth it will probably be ok. Did you ask the vet yet? |

| I called the vet and they said to come in if he throws up or becomes lethargic. And that worries me because I wonder what'll happen after that...

| I think that most pills, unless they're time released, take effect within 30 min. to an hour. Since he's still himself after 45 min., I bet he's gonna be fine. You might want to see if you can get him to drink lots of water to flush it out of his system faster. |

| Well, he's fine, hasn't thrown up or acted any differently than usual so I guess I was really lucky this time! Its scary to think that I have my eye on him constantly, and accidents like this still happen. When I saw him with the pill earlier, I freaked out and took it out of his mouth and started looking all over the house for a bottle of blue and white pills so I could know what it was...the whole time my little sister was looking really worried. I thought she was worried about Wobie, but she was worried about me finding out she dropped her pill on the floor and didn't pick it up.
