Thank you so much for posting this. Maybe everyone that comes here posting about one of those symptoms will go straight to the Vet. I hope this becomes a Sticky |
I agree that it should be a sticky. But seriously? More than that, it should be basic common sense! Kinda makes me sad. |
Thanks for the post.... |
Awesome post, having it as a sticky would be nice especially for new members. |
We actually already have a sticky on this topic in s&i ( http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...-vet-asap.html ) but this list is another that needs to be added there. |
Very good post, Jeanie! |
Excellent post, I would like to add one thing, if your dog has ingested any type of human medication, call your vet immediately! Nearly all, can be toxic to a small dog. |
