Dear Friends,
I just got home from the emergency vet clinic. My precious Rexy may have eaten some advil. It was my mom's, she lives with me, and he went into her bedroom, got the advil bottle, and chewed off the lid. There were no pills in the bottle when we found him - but my mom did not know if it was empty or not - she thinks it may have been an empty bottle, which would mean he didn't eat any, but we can't be sure.

Of course, we have to treat him like he ate some, just to be on the safe side. At the emergency hospital they induced vomiting and found bottle lid pieces, no pills, but we aren't sure how long he had been in the bedroom getting into the bottle. They will keep him on IV fluids, give him charcoal, and do baseline kidney function tests. We had to leave him at the hospital tonight and we have to pick him up tomorrow morning and take him to his regular vet. Please keep us in your thoughts.

I just feel like he didn't eat any - but of course, I can't be sure. I will update you tomorrow after we see our regular vet.

It nearly broke my heart to leave him at the emergency hospital - I know he will be so scared. At the same time, I want him to be monitored and cared for, if he should show signs of drug poisoning. It's already 10:00PM here, so only 8 more hours and I can bring him home. But I think I may have to leave him at his regular vet tomorrow - but he knows them and I know them and I will feel better about that.

Thanks for being here.
