Rimadyl overdose...2x's the dose? Ok.. some quick advise please! I am not totally panicked.. but.. we just gave out dog 2 pills , when he should have had one! A mistake.. he thought I had not given the dose, and I thought he had not given the dose..you guessed it.. so we both did! Do you think it will be ok? I do not want to do the hydrogen peroxide thing.. that scares me even more. Advise please? This just happened 15 min ago.. |
I would try calling the er vet and ask them. |
Veterinary Hospital, Veterinarian Emergency Center, Pet Care, Urgent Pet Care, After Hours Emergency Clinic - East Mesa - 1st Emergency Pet Care here is on to call 1st Emergency Pet Care (866) 492-6575 |
They said it would probably be ok.. but that I could induce vomiting with HP.. I am scared to do that! |
Call your vet if possible........ you could also check out the Rimadyl website, there might be something on it. |

The Official DERAMAXX® Website Is this it? |
Here is what the website says: What do I do in case my dog eats more than the prescribed amount of Rimadyl? Contact your veterinarian immediately if your dog eats more than the prescribed amount of Rimadyl. |
We are going to watch him.. I am reading that one extra tab should probably ok.. so we will watch him , and go to the ER if we see anything wrong.. |
Inducing vomitting is not really a big deal. It's very easy to do; just get a syringe and give the recommended amount. Has your baby been doing okay with the Rimadyl so far? |
So far.. I am seeing nothing unusual.. same as always. Its been about and hour and 15 min.. I think the full strength hits in about 2-3 hours.. |
What you should do Well im not a expert at this but i think you should call your vet just incase and see if there is something wrong or not. Even though nothing unsusual has happened yet, its always good to just make sure:) |
Any updates on this baby? |
It's 600 am.. and all's well! Wheeww! He is ok! Normal poop as wel ( no bloody or diareah ) Ok.. I l;earned a lesson in communication here.. be sure to ASK before nyo give those pills..we both thought the other was going to give the pills.. Now I become the pill person.. Thanks to all that wrote me..!! Now we can get back to enjoying the Holiday! Last nice temps before the Fall probably!! |
