She is acting wierd (sp) since her shots today!
 

Lola had her second shots this morning and since we got home she is been standing in one spot and do not want to move. I gave her children tylenol but before that I got confused and gave her tylenol cold, I realized my mistake after she started making noise. I gave her water right away but I don't know if this is why she is acting like that. I don't like to see her like this, she's always running and playing with her toys.

Is it my foult she is like that?? is it because the children cold tylenol??

I think I remember seeing a thread on here about Tylenol being really bad for Yorkies. I will try to find it!

If you mean tylenol as in acetametaphen, call the vet immediately. It is toxic to dogs.

What?? But the vet told me to gave her some!?! Oh God!!!

I am sorry but you need to find a new vet!

Some vets do say you can give small amounts, I think, but it's not good medicine (imo). Please call a different vet...

I just called the vet and he said children tylenol is ok for her and she maybe have fever because of the shots. She is standing and walk a little bit but goes back to her spot. I call her and do not come to me. Vet say to call him anytime if I still concern but to wait until the tylenol work..

Does that sound ok?? should I call another vet??

Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Ibuprofen toxicity is due to an active metabolite made by the liver from the drug. This metabolite causes severe damage to liver cells and red blood cells. Dogs tend to have more liver damage, whereas cat's red blood cells undergo a transformation of their normal oxygen carrying hemoglobin to a non functional form called methemoglobin. One Children's Tylenol tablet contains almost twice the toxic level for a normal sized cat per kilogram of body weight, and the adult size Tylenol has more than six times the toxic level!

The following quotes are all from the American Veterinary Medical Association:
American Veterinary Medical Association "Animal poisoning by drugs is by far the most common type of small animal poison exposure, accounting for 75% of 1990 toxin exposures as reported by the AAPCC and 82 of 425 fatalities.""Due to the significant toxicity to pets in relatively minimal dosages, the recommendation is clear — Tylenol should not be given to dogs or cats. "

Acetaminophen can be toxic to dogs.

Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains acetaminophen, sometimesn abbreviated as "APAP"), diphenhydramine, or phenylephrine. 　

The symptoms may be:

*

Vomiting
*

Diarrhea
*

Difficulty in breathing
*

Dark colored urine
*

Listlessness

If your pet ingests Tylenol, get them to a veterinarian right away for emergency treatment. The problem is more acute and life threatening in cats than in dogs (though by no means safe in your canine companion).
Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Phenylbutazone, Naproxen (NSAID toxicity)

There may be different views on this where you live, but Tylenol is Tylenol and it can be toxic. I'd probably go to the ER or at least get ahold of a vet that will talk you through how to induce vomiting, etc. If they all agree that this is okay, I really don't know what to say because it is not.

:thumbup: Totally agree...Call the Vet back, or get emergency help for your baby.

Don't panic and beat yourself up :( Call your vet asap! I'm sure she'll be okay stay positive!!!

Ellie May For The Win!!!

i don't know what to do, I live in Puerto Rico and I called two different vet and they said the same thing. She is walking now but she look afraid of something. We have another old female dog and when she came to the room she run after her.

Also, when I call one of the Animal Hospital and ask to see her they said to wait until tomorrow, that she is running with fever and tomorrow she will be better. Is it the vet here are not inform?? I going to call the other vet right now.

is she throwing up? eating? drinking? and how much does she weigh? Also how much did you give her?

I would call the vet bc sometimes they get a reaction to their shots and sometimes a dog that size can only handle one shot at a time.

She is not throwing up, she is drinking, no eating yet. Gave her less than half of teaspoon since she weight 1lb.

Called another animal hospital and they told me to observe her overnight and if she is acting the same, to take her. I have to wait now, I called all the vet here in my area and all said the same. I just hope everything turn out ok. I will keep my eyes on her all night, she is sleeping in my lap right now.

Did you give her BOTH Tylenol Cold AND Tylenol?? That is how your initial post reads.....I just want to be sure :confused:

I know it's only been 10 minutes since I posted about the possible double dose......but I'm bumping anyway! I'm worried sick this 1# baby was overdosed :eek:

My understanding was also that two Tylenols (of different types) were given. And I missed the one pound part! Honestly, I would not be surprised if this pup goes into liver failure. The only way to stop this for sure is to get emergency care.

To the original poster, yes, it is different here. Some vets may say to give Tylenol, but others are available to correct the mistake. I don't want to tell you to induce vomiting (I think it's okay with Tylenol???) because continuous vomitingcould send her into dehydration and there is no vet that is willing to help. So I am at a loss.

I am wondering too? Did you give her 2 doses? Or did you only give her one? Also, if she is drinking water and keeping it down then that is a good thing! You can try boiling some chicken and rice and see if she will eat that. Or pick up some puppy formula and let her drink that.

She only weighs one pound? What shots did she get?

I try to give her by mistake babies cold tyenol the one that come with the dropper but she did not want it, when I check I realized my mistake and went to get children tylenol, the one I give my 6 yrs old son. Vet told me to give her half teaspoon but I gave her less than that because she was fighting me.

I did gave her the same children tylenol when she got her first set of shots and she was fine.

From now on, use children's Benadryl - it's much safer.

Good! Not that Tylenol is good.....but BOTH could have been catastrophic!

Children Benadryl!! ok

Thanks

I am keeping my fingers crossed that your baby will be okay. ;)
