So glad you found the pill! I've done this before myself. I have a son on allergy meds daily. Over the sink's a great idea! I had my scare for the day! I was giving Ziggy his meds this morning in a piece of chicken. Ziggy took it and spit some of it out on the floor and Bear grabbed it! |
I'm so glad the pill was found. Yes this is very scary to have happen. I lost one of my babies that way. My MIL dropped one of her pills and my beautiful Shayleigh got hold of it. It was too late by the time I figured out what happened, the damage had been done and no amount of medical helped we tried for 2 weeks worked. Her brain was damaged. She was only 2 1/2 yrs. old. This was back in 2003. I still to this day can't stop thinking about it. |
Just reading your post and thank God you found that pill. I know this can happen to all of us. I just told my husband we are going to open our pills in the sink so if it falls our Kinder won't get it. Thanks for posting this , it reminds us all. Susan |
So glad you found it. I've also dropped one and had to scramble to get it before the dogs. I had company once that gives their (larger) dogs ACE (wrapped in cheese) for traveling. Well, she wasn't sure when she gave it to one of the dogs that the dog actually swolled it. Sure enough, about an hour after they left, Mylee was walking like a drunk and pretty darn sleepy, so I know who got that one. Good think you were on top of it. |
It is ok. No prayers for help are dumb. God knows the number of hair on our head I am sure he knows where the pill is too. |
Glad the pill was found. Hubby and I both take our pills over the kitchen sink, someone on a Lab Talk site years ago suggested it, on a list of keeping pups safe. My Mom is blind and we put her pills on a paper towel, in an up side down frizbee, she can count how many she takes. This works better than, putting them in her hand. |
So glad that you found the pill! I take my pills over the bathroom counter with the handtowel laid out on the counter. If one is dropped,it wont bounce. Sounds silly but I have to many kids and to many dogs that could get ahold of a dropped pill and this is my way of avoiding the moment. I learned this they hard way by dropping a pill and spending 2hrs of my life looking for it,was late to an apointment and had a crazy moment in the process. |
How scary, so glad you found it. I'm another one that votes for the sink, I have never had one bounce out. |
So sorry you had a scare this morning. I freak out whenever my grandpa drops a pill because he wont do his pills over the table or counter and sometimes it doesn't seem like he knows how serious it can be. Callie doesn't just run up and grab things off the floor anymore and listens when I tell her no but it still scares the crap outa me. I set my pill box on the table and take one pill out at a time and take it. |
Roxi, my daughter and I live with my elderly mother. Twice now my mother has dropped a pill. The first time I was home and was able to pry it out of Roxi's mouth. The 2nd time just happened last week. I got home from work and found a pill laying on the kitchen floor. It looked like it had been chewed on and then spit out...obviously it tasted horrible. I can't get my mother to understand that she has to be more careful. She's always been that way. When my daughter was a baby I was always worried about my mother dropping her pills. God has looked out for us so far. |

I reread my post and I sounded like a blubbering buffoon, but I was scared out of my mind. I've since moved all of the pills to the bathroom medicine cabinet (where they should be anyway) instead of the kitchen. I go in the bathroom and shut the door plus take them over the sink now. I should have thought to do this before, you'd think it is a bit of "well, duh!!"...but for me it wasn't. What I find SO weird is that I was at Shakespeare's breeder's home the other day (checking out the puppies and preparing to get one) when we had a discussion about dropping pills. She's the one that brought it up, actually. I was thinking in my head.. "Well I'M never gonna do that, I'M careful!!" ........... talk about a humbling moment. :rolleyes: |

So happy you found the pill. I worry about things like this all the time. I had all my meds in the kitchen before I got my Yorkies. I moved every med prescription or OTC drugs to my bathroom. I never take meds around them and I forbid my husband to bring any meds in the kitchen. Accidents can happen so quick and my 4 will jump on a crumb if it drops in the floor. |
So glad you found your pill. I too take mine over the sink and even then have dropped one. Yelling for help and getting the dogs out of the room is the first priority. So glad everything went well for you today. |
Glad you found the pill and all the kiddos are safe :-) |
