Default Hydrogen peroxide....a for sure barf inducer

My roommate called me this morning while I was at work. Zack swallowed an antibiotic capsule that was for my roommate's Beagle. She saw it in his mouth but he ran under the sofa and swallowed the pill before she could get to him.

She immediately called my vet. The vet said to give Zack 1 tsp of hydrogen peroxide to make him vomit. It worked in 3 minutes...the pill came up (along with his breakfast) and he was fine. Whew! That was a close call. Zack is about 5 lbs and the antibiotic dosage is for a 30 lb dog.

He ate breakfast again...after all that drama.
