Accidentally ate one of my lasix My Fancy found a lasix that I had dropped in the floor & ate it. It's 40mg. Will it harm her? What do I need to do? |
If thats medication I would give her a little peroxide and make her throw it up or get her to a vet |
Even though its a water pill I would still take her to the emergancy vet if your vet is closed. Better safe than sorry. |
Call the nearest ER vet. Lasix over doses can cause serious issues. What happens if I overdose the pet: Seek emergency veterinary medical attention if you believe you have given your pet too much medication. Symptoms of furosemide overdose may include loss of appetite, weakness, dizziness, confusion, fainting. http://www.1800petmeds.com/Furosemide-prod10083.html It can cause seizures, electrolyte imbalances and irregular heart beat. |
Oh, call the ER vet ASAP and get her there now. Am praying for this baby. |
Take her to the vet..... She could flush out everything in body become dehydrated and sick. |
Her becoming so dyhydrated is what I was worried about. I hope since you haven't answered back it means you have taken her in to the emergancy vet. Please, please don't second guess this. It could mean her little life. |
How is Fancy? Did u take her in? |
Yes how is you puppy? Poor baby. |
I hope your little girl is doing ok after getting your Lasix. When dogs are prescribed this for heart failure they are usually prescribed 2.5-5 mg for a 5-10 lb dog. 40 mg is is so much more that I worry about your girl. Please let us know how she is doing today. Teresa |
Was wondering how Fancy was today? hope she is ok |
Just read this... I am praying the furbut is ok!!! FYI... you can always call poison control, they have information for pets also!! |
I take 40mg of Lasix 3 times a week, and it often makes me feel weak, dizzy and dehydrated, so I can only imagine the repercussions for your little one. Did you call poison control or get her into the vet? Please let us know how she is doing. |
What is the status on your pup? I hope you got to the ER in time? |
How is Fancy today? Sending prayers that all is ok. Bonny |
I'm just seeing this...I so hope you took Fancy to the vet. I wouldn't take any chances where my little one is concerned. Hope you will let us know how she is. |
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you all. I recounted my pills & thank goodness she didn't eat one. It must have been something else I heard her eating. She slept good last night & hasn't shown any signs of eating this pill,i.e. peeing alot(not). Thanks for all the concern & advice. This is a wonderful site. |

Well, thank God! That could have been disastrous! |
hope Fancy is well |
I've had my IG puppy grab two different pills my mother, who lives with me, dropped. One was a cymbalta and I don't remember what the other was. I grabbed the hydrogen peroxide, the kind you use on wounds, and gave her a syringe full. It was like magic! Both times she threw up the hp and pill. The pills came up intact and still the original color. It was amazing. After totally freaking out and reading my poor mother the riot act, it hasn't happened again, thank heaven. |

I am so glad she is ok..... |

Oh, thank goodness. Oh, what a relief! I am weak with relief as I thought that pill could probably cause death very quickly in such a small little dog if it has a similar pharacological action in dogs as it does in humans. Good news! |
What a relief. You have to be so careful when you take meds that you don't drop them. My Yorkie Zach got a hold of one of my Metformins that I take for diabeties. Thank God my room mate found it in his mouth before he bit into it. No I take the pills over the basin in the bathroom to make sure I don't drop them on the floor or bed. |
Thank goodness!! Glad all is OK. |
As you all do, I try to be so careful with transferring a pill from the bottle as I am pretty sure anything I take would be a certain death sentence for Tibbe. I have been training him for quite some time to "Leave It! " and "Bad! Uh-oh!" when I hold a pill of mind out to his nose to try to instill some type of automatic/reactionary avoidance response, if I can. He has always snorted when I hold a pill of mine toward his nose and then he turns his head and backs off, so with the attempts at training, I am hoping he will learn a pill is something he should avoid and turn from. And I know it will likely confuse him when I have to administer a veterinary pill to him but I had rather he be confused and learn to avoid pills. I hope it will work. |
I know it must be confusing to them what they can have and not have. They don't understand vitamins are different than meds. I was going through so much trying to get Tina to take her lasix and she takes one for her heart. Finally, I just crush them and put them in her dog food and works out so much better than trying to get a pill down her. BTW, you can't imagine how happy I am that baby is okay. I know it must have been a scary thing to go through. |
